Carbide Drill Bit Feeds and Speeds for Double-sided Copperclad FR-4

This feeds and speeds table was compiled using premium grade double-sided 1-ounce (37micron) copperclad with a 0.059" (1.5mm) thick FR-4 core. Use the SIZE column to determine if a bit is a NUMBER (imperial), METRIC, FRACTIONAL, or LETTER drill. The button bar below provides links to the cart pages for each type.

Extension of this data to other substrates and/or drill bits from other manufacturers should be undertaken with caution
