General Drilling Guidelines
WARNING: To avoid injury, make sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck before
starting any drilling operation.
Drilling speeds
Important factors when determining the best drilling speed:

Type of material

Size of the hole to be drilled

Type of drill bit or cutter

Desired quality of the cut
Remember, smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits. Softer materials require
greater speed than harder materials.
