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.
