The indicated speeds and feeds are when water soluble oil is used. 2. Suitable cutting fluid is water-emulsifiable, high density oil (less than 10 times dilution). 3. With the exception of using milling chucks, pay careful attention to ensure that drill is rigidly clamped and keep deflection at a minimum. 4. In case of drilling depth: >4D, reduce drilling speed as below. 5. When using non-water soluble oil or water-emulsifiable oil (over 10 times dilution), reduce drilling speed by 20%. 6. Step process should be used when drilling depth of the hole exceeds 4 times drill diameter for vertical machines or 3 times drill diameter for horizontal lathe machines.
