If the drill is to pass completely through the work
piece it is advisable to place a piece of scrap wood
under the work piece at the point of breaking

Due to variation in the bit pattern, the type, hard-

quality of the hole desired, it is impractical to at-
tempt to establish a fixed table of drill feeds and

material the slower the feed and speed. Start any
