Posting this here as we are all familiar with rigidity and capabilities of the Tormach.
I need to drill lots of 3/8 holes through 3 inch aluminum blocks. Currently, I spot drill and then go right to a size W drill. Regular HSS that I use only for this and keep sharp. It works ok, but towards the bottom of the hold it sometimes shrieks even though I am spraying coolant right at the hole and it's well flooded. It also wanders slightly and that happens no matter what bit I use. I bought one of these from McMaster but it does the same. https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/129/2759/3021A41
Running at 4100 rpm and 9 ipm. I suspect I need to plunge faster, but near the bottom I really bog down the tormach and I am worried it will stall.
Any suggestions appreciated.
