What drill bits to use on cast iron?

I'm no expert, but broke off 1 old brass bolt flush in the cast iron flange of a toilet drain- I then used a metal bit to drill holes for the toilet riser/extender thing to attach to. This all stemmed from a remodel and having mounting bolts too short for the new bowl. The mason bit i tried didn't work as well as the metal bit. I started out small and worked my way up in size.

Theodolites- pronounced as it is spelled, are surveying instruments of high precision and accuracy. They are a more sophisticated form of what is usually called a transit. The Theodolite is always operated from a tripod and has Base (circular) and Cylindrical levels on the instrument to keep it level. The name is thought to derive from the Greek- approximately ( The Eye of God). Modern engineering, building and bridge construction, etc, even mining, could not function without the theodolite and the more modern derivatives using electronic devices and GPS. ( progress in full swing, as with Cameras and electronic measurement of parameters, as with modern non-digital Nikons.) By the way Nikon makes theodolites. One of the best historically and by no means an obsolete instrument was/is the Wilde-Zeiss theodolite which reached its present form around l938. a common sight on Gotham building sites.

Box wrenches have round heads, able to completely encompass the nut and are very useful where nuts are rusted or otherwise extremely tight.
