pretty much any drill bit should work, but i'd recommend using a drill press for the coping to keep your bit straight and prevent it from slipping.
that coping is as solid as it could be - perfect for skating.
the angle iron seems solid for now, but i'm a bit worried that the screws my break loose. especially if you come down hard on it with your skateboard trucks.
i might try liquid nails on the back side of the entire piece of angle iron in addition to some stronger screws.

i drilled a small hole on each end, then used a larger drill bit as a counter sink so the screw would be flush.
so for now there is just 2 screws holding the angle iron on... if they break, i'll probably use some liquid nails.

what kind of drill bits would you need for drilling into the metal and what kind of screws did you use to make it ?..... Thanks for your help.
