Started drilling with wrong bits initially. Once i ordered cobalt drill bits it was fine to drill using the old Myford . When turning using carbide tips you have to be careful you do not turn too close to OD parameters , Damascus has a tendency to flake off if it is too thin. lots of Filed and polished on the mandrel then Then bathed in Ferric Chloride and washed in Bicarbonate soda.
