Working Speed
Always observe the right speed for the job. The working speed is subject to the
drill bit diameter and the material to be drilled.
The below mentioned values are only suggested guideline and show the working
speed for different materials.
Generally, when drilling in soft material the speed should be higher and when
drilling in hard materials the speed should be lower.
Factors which determine the speed for drilling are: the kind of material that has to
be drilled, the size and the depth of the hole and the quality of cut.
