How can I get 316 stainless to chip break when drilling with a 5mm carbide drill? The holes are only 10mm deep (12 per part). I’m currently running at 55m/min and 0.05mm per rev using G73. I was thinking maybe 35m/min and 0.1mm per rev? I’ve got a rigid setup and thru tool coolant, just not high pressure

Edit - thanks for the reply’s, slowed to 45M/Min to reduce work hardening and increased feed to 0.13mm/rev seems to be working a treat!
