Is there a drill bit that can be used to cut sideways. I need to make a slot in a piece of metal that you could put a piece of flat stock 14 x 1 through?

no, drill bits do not have shear strength, so that technique would snap them. An end mill could do the job, or more practically, use a drill press, and plunge cut many holes, causing a slot in the material. Other option is use abrasives. A grinders, a cut off wheel, a carbide grinding bit etc to open the slot up to size

How do you drill through copper safely?
Use a titanium bit for best results. Clamp the piece of copper to a piece of wood if possible, so that the wood supports it from underneath, and give the drill bit a place to go once it goes through the copper. Wear safety gloves and glasses to keep from being injured by small shards of metal. When you drill through it, use a fast spinning speed with the drill, but don't apply a lot of pressure, just allow the drill bit to slowly work its way through the metal.
