ADVICE ON DRILLING WORKPIECES

The following points should be observed at all times:

always use sharp tools

cool the drill bit with a suitable liquid

use a special drill bit for drilling into stainless steel

for very hard materials use a higher pressure at lower speed setting for soft materials apply light pressure at a higher speed

Attention: too high a pressure overloads the motor and reduces the drilling speed small drills require a high drill speed

larger drills require a lower drill speed

The following table gives further helpful advice:

the correct speed is different for each material

the cutting speed is dependent on the diameter of the drill and the rotation speed the table gives the approximate rotation speed

please note that an average speed has been calculated for the listed materials and the rotation speeds have been rounded

in some cases the calculated cutting speeds (CS) cannot be selected in practice - use the nearest available value
