Drill Speed / HP / Trust Chart for Steel

Drilling Mild Steel... Anyone have online sources for such a chart? I have one on my site, but someone actually convinced my customer he needs a tremendous amount of HP for a simple hole. He asked for outside sources of info backing up my quote so... I need a chart from someone else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Machinery's Handbook has formulas, in the section titled "Machining Power," that will allow you to build a new table (in Excel?), or to verify the figures in your current table.

Ned,

My thoughts exactly... And much appreciated tip... But he is not a technical-type and it's all "Greek" to him... He is looking for something similar to this online or in print that I can fax him:

But, of course, not created by me. :)

Hey Joe,

Do you provide custom multiple spindle drill heads? I have a need for one that will drill 6 holes at once and was considering a Sugino, but I will take a look at other bids.

If you're interested, let me know and we can talk over the details.

. HPc=(D x W x IPM) / K

HPc= D= W= IPM= K=

Material K Aluminum 4.0 plus Brass soft 3.0 Brass hard 2.0 Bronze hard 1.4 Bronze very hard .65

I'd be glad to quote it...

Give me a call and/or check out the multi-drill site URL below. Mention the newsgroup so I know who I'm talking to when you call. Just ask for Joe, Jr.
