I found from doing some woodworking....this same tip with the addition of one thing.
When you put the tape on the drill bit, leave a short tab of tape sticking out from the drill bit. This will spin with the bit AND brush away all the chips so you can see the tape line easier. It acts like a small fan.

I love this site!
