- High SFM will cause vibration and/or harmonics with long gun drills. Reduce RPM or ensure adequate supports are in place or use an intermediate length gun drill.

- Applications suitable for our Spraymist System, reduce SFM by 35% at same feed rate listed.
- Water soluble coolant must be oil based, high "EP" at 10-12% concentration, NO SYNTHETICS!
