Especially if you are cutting metal on a regular basis, this upgrade is something you’ll definitely want to install.

How Bad is it to Drill on a CNC Router?

Winston Moy

November 7, 2022



I had long heard (and myself repeated) that drilling on a CNC router was less than ideal. But just how bad is it to drill materials at 10k RPM? That’s what I wanted to find out for myself.

I’m using Short/Stub Length drill bits from McMaster (https://www.mcmaster.com/drills) but there’s nothing special about them. Shop around!
