Cooling and Lubricating stainless steel
When drilling through stainless steel, avoiding the build-up of heat is essential, so ensure to lubricate and cool the drill bit regularly.
As well as improving the cutting performance, this will increase the usable lifespan of the drill bit. When working with stainless steel, it's advisable to drill in stages.
This stop–start approach reduces the build-up of heat and allows both the tool and the material to cool down.
Depending on the required hole diameter, you may drill in stages, using progressively larger drill bits until you achieve the desired result.
