yupo...

I personally make a .060 size hole for a drill center and just use it for placement. Under-sizing a hole and trying to drill empties the wallet with ruined drill bits.

I use a cobalt drill bit. Well I think they are about 5% cobalt.

Go to harbor freight and get the warrior brand step bits they drill with ease and last a long time for up to 1/4" thick. For thicker I don't plasma cut the holes.
