Comparison of cutting times core drills
HSS vs. twist drills HSS DIN 345
Drilling time in seconds
Workpiece: steelgirder
Material: construction steel S235JR
Cutting depth: 12,0 mm
Machine: RUKO Magnetic-stand drilling machine RS140
Cutting with twist drills has been made without pilot drilling
directly into the material. No cooling or lubrication has been used.
