A hand drill will actually be better than the drill press. That circular rocking motion is key to getting a clean hole without destroying the teeth on the saw.
Use a good lube. I'd either use a thread cutting oil or a synthetic automotive oil, such as Mobil 1. Steady pressure, but don't force it.
And slow, slow, slow. You should be just about able to count the teeth as it rotates. If the oil is smoking, you need to back off.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
