High Speed refers to the type of steel alloy used to make the drill bit. This is an air hardening steel (high speed cooling) the hardness should not be affected if the bit is heated (even to redhot ) and allowed to cool in air.

You don't need a diamond bit. High speed steel will do as long as you drill slow (about 400 rpm) and keep the tip lubricated with cutting oil.

What type of drill bit is best suited to drill into cured epoxy putty?
A standard HSS drill bit, slow it down from normal drilling speed.
What is the relationship between the size of the drill bit and the speed of the drill press?
Larger bits require a slower (more power) speed.
What do you drill plexiglass with?
You drill plexiglass with a standard HSS drill at a low speed and with a piece of wood right where the drill point will exit the work.
The benefit of high speed steel?
High Speed Steel is not a type of steel. It is a designation given to any tool that is capable of cutting into or through steel at high speed. A drill bit for example. Refer to the question "What is the difference between mild steel and high speed steel" for a more thorough answer.
How do you drill stainless steel?
You have to use the hardest, most expensive drill bits you can find. Use a drill press when possible, and cutting paste. Use a slow speed and firm pressure. If you use a high speed, too much heat is generated and the steel will harden and blunt the drillbit.
What kind of drill bit is used to drill stainless steel plate and which is coolant used for stainless steel drilling?
My favorite is simply a high speed steel drill bit, running at SLOW speed (slower than you'd run if drilling mild steel) using green goo as a lubricant called "Westlube" made by Westland Products Company. http://www.westlandproducts.com/ In our operation Westlube changed things from 2-3 holes per drill bit to hundreds of holes per drill bit. For stainless, it's purely magic!
