I just finished up my CNC quill drive conversion my Bridgeport and would like to use it to drill boards. I have not found a reference to what speeds and feeds to use for drilling. I am looking for the surface feet per minute and feed per turn numbers for small carbide drills in FR-4. My 5400 RPM maximum going to be well below the 30,000 to 60,000 RPM used by a real PCB drilling spindle but it should still work fine if I use the correct feed rate. Anyone got a reference for these parameters. BP Quill Drive <http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/B-uAtxYUicys82cFdd5HYg?feat=direct\ link> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
