    As Ken said.

    You can use metal bits but it's wise to take some special precautions;
    Use an undrilled area of a sacrificial backing piece (wood) for each hole.
    Avoid using pilot holes if process permits.
    Clamp the plastic down.
    Use slower rpm speeds.
    Slow feed pressure down on break-through.
