Drilling Tools B Guidelines for correct usage o f carbide drills
A collet chuck holder is recommended for use with C carbide drills. When using a milling chuck holder, a collet chuck with a straight shank or straight collet should be used.

OK Chucking drills: Radial run out and lip height should be E less than 0.02mm. If run out or lip height
is larger (close to 0.05mm), machining is possible. However, less accurate holes or
