| What size do you want to drill? Drilling with good solid pressure is correct, but slowly is not. A rigid set-up is key. A carbide drill is VERY brittle but hard, so be careful when drilling especially when using a hand drill, try not to move too much. Carbide does NOT like low SFM (surface feet per minute), so you pretty much have to run the drill to max if you are drilling with a small drill. If you are looking to put a hole through a shaft (small shaft), then you have to use an endmill in a rigid set-up like a milling machine preferably. |
