When selecting a suitable cutting lubricant, it should be remembered that soluble oil and water emulsions have good cooling properties
and are therefore applicable to high speed working. The sulphurised cutting lubricants have good anti-weld properties and are therefore
applicable where cutting pressures are high.
It may be advantageous to dilute the suphurised oils with paraffin or light mineral oils in order to reduce excessive drill wear at high
speeds.

*Or greater according to diameter and local conditions.

The speeds quoted are only a basic guide.If conditions permit, it may be possible to increase the
above values.
When commencing to drill new work, the slowest speed and lightest feed should be used and these
should gradually be increased until optimum output per grind is obtained.
