Can I safely use a drill bit designed for drilling through metal, for drilling through masonry?

It will be safe, but the drill point will go blunt and wear away before it has gone through a single brick. If you use it on concrete you will grow old and die before it makes a decent hole.
That's why they sell masonry drills.
p.s. have a look at //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=570630#570630 for more advice.

In that case, what about bits designed for masonry, being used to drill through metal?
