I would like some input on speed and feeds:
1144 Stress proof 1 inch round stock
Drilling 3 inches deep then ream to size .750
Drill is .7344 so I have about 2.5% of reamer diameter engagement.
How fast should the drill and reamer be fed? Rpm?
Using a silver and deming drill. Some people say pilot hole some say NO way with a S&D drill. What should I do?
I am spot drilling the start with a center drill.
Machine is a wasino gang lathe. 5hp I think.
Thanks for the help and ideas!
