Finish
Bright (uncoated). The bright finish is for general-purpose applications.
Cutting speeds and feeds
Cutting speeds (Vc) and feed numbers for this drill are from the Sutton High Performance catalogue application guide. The table lists the material groups covered. Optimal ratings are shown in bold and Effective ratings in regular type. The rpm and feed columns show what the speed and feed number work out to at Ø6 mm and Ø10 mm (speed in rpm = Vc × 1000 ÷ (π × Ø)). Treat these as starting values and adjust for the machine, set-up and coolant.

Drilling notes
- Step feeding or pecking is required for drilling greater than 3 x Ø.
- When drilling a cast or black (not machined) surface, reduce the drilling speed by 20%.
- For optimal positional accuracy and hole size, the use of spot drills is recommended prior to drilling the desired hole; see Sutton's spotting drill range (D175).
- For hole depths greater than 7 x Ø, pre-drill a pilot hole first for more accurate hole position and to stop the drill wandering. The pilot can be drilled with a short, rigid drill about 3 x Ø deep at reduced feed.
Accuracy
The drill diameter (d1) tolerance is m7.
