When Drilling

    1. Always Drill with a Coolant:

            CORE DRILLS: use coolant lead and 30# pressure

            SOLID DRILLS: use submerged, pressure sensitive lead.

   2. Dressing:

            SOLID TYPE DRILLS: dress frequently to maintain freedom of cut and to minimize pressure buildup.

            CORE DRILLS: in the event that the core drill loads up, apply our aluminum oxide stick.

   3. Recommended Operating Speeds:

Diameter of Drill Operating Speeds
1/32" to 3/32" 7,000 to 10,000 RPM
3/32" to 1/2" 3,000 to 7,000 RPM
9/16" to 1" 1,500 to 3,000 RPM
1" to 2" 750 to 1,500 RPM
2" to 4" 350 to 900 RPM

** NOTE: Core Drills are engineered to minimize dressing **
