Drilling Recommendations
Speeds for Drilling
The speed of a drill is usually measured in terms
of the rate at which the outer periphery of the
tool moves in relation to the work being drilled.
The common term for this is Surface Feet per
Minute (SFM). The relationship of SFM is
expressed in the following formulas:
SFM=0.26 x RPM x Drill Diameter (in inches)
RPM=3.8 x _________SFM_________
Drill diameter (in inches)
In general, the higher the speed the shorter the
drill life. Operating at the low end of the speed
range for a particular material will result in
longer life. The most efficient speed for
operating a drill depends on many variables:
1. Composition and hardness of material.
2. Depth of the hole.
3. Efficiency of the cutting fluid.
4. Type and condition of the drilling machine.
5. Desired quality of the hole.
6. Difficulty of set-up.
Feeds for Drilling
The feed of a drill is governed by the size of the
tool and the material drilled. Because the feed
rate partially determines the rate of production
and also is a factor in tool life, it should be
chosen carefully for each job. In general, the
most effective feeds will be found in the ranges
shown in Figure 11.
Indication of Extreme Speeds/Feeds
Figure 12 shows recommended speed ranges
for high speed steel drills.
A drill that splits up the web is evidence of too
much feed or insufficient tip clearance at the
center as a result of improper grinding. The
rapid wearing away of the extreme outer corners
of the cutting edges indicates that the speed is
too high. A drill chipping or breaking out at the
cutting edges indicates that either the feed is too
heavy or the drill has been ground with too
much tip clearance.
In cases where carbon steel drills are
applicable, the drill should be run at speeds of
from 40 to 50 percent of those given in Figure
12.
