      we are talking about thickness right? Well that depends on your drill bit you may want to center punch ot first and make sure the bit is sharp. If you wear thick work gloves you may be able to pull it off

      You can. Aluminum is soft and easy to drill. If it’s a big hole you’re making, drill a pilot hole of a smaller size first then drill the hole size you want. Use sharp bits like titanium or cobalt as they cut quicker and cleaner.
