How Do I Balance Speed, Pressure & Lubrication?

Happy Friday! As promised, today I will let you in on a few more tips and suggestions..

How do I balance speed, pressure and lubrication?

Unfortunately learning to balance drill speed, drill pressure, lubrication and your time is a learned skill. Learned from trial and error. It is best to start out with a very slow drill speedvery light pressure and lots of lubrication. Gradually increase all three until you reach the point where time spent drilling balances against the cost of more drill bits. Starting slow reduces risks and extends bit life. Always use more lubrication than you think you need.

Our blog series of our tips to help you get started is almost half way completed! If you want to go ahead and get started or order some new pieces, don’t forget to go to diamondburs.net or drillglass.com!
