It's important to set the spindle speed appropriately for the material you are working with, and the size of the bit. | |||
Generally speaking, the smaller the drill bit the faster the spindle should be turning. Larger bits need slower spindle speeds. If possible, perform a test with a sample piece of material to determine the best drill speed for your application. | |||
Refer to the Recommended Drill Speed table below for a good starting point. | |||
