Drilling AR260 Plate

Feb 26, 2009 1 Replies

Hey, I am in the middle of this project, and need to drill some



9/16ths holes in abrasion-resistant 260 plate that's 1 inch thick.

I will be using an T-A indexible drill holder, However the inserts are not carbide, but coated HSS, I am looking for approximate speeds and feeds for this drilling operation, just a starting point so i can avoid smashing my drill holder to pieces.


Brad, AMEC's recommendations might be a good starting point.
