Hi Tom,
I think you should be able to get a few hundred pretty easily. When in doubt, try
a new bit to see how it compares. When it starts taking significantly longer
to drill a hole, change it out.

Go by how it drills. If you are getting long spirals of aluminum it is
sharp. If you are getting small chips it is dull.
