Speeds and feeds: in mild steel an HSS drill starts at about 950 RPM and 0.0092 in/rev (8.74 IPM); in 6061 aluminum about 2,640 RPM.
9.2 mm drill speeds and feeds by material
Jobber-length twist drill, D = 0.3622 in. RPM = 3.82 × SFM ÷ D, rounded to 10. Feed per rev scales with diameter and material; IPM = RPM × IPR.
| Material | HSS SFM | HSS RPM | Carbide SFM | Carbide RPM | Feed (in/rev) | HSS IPM | Carbide IPM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum (6061) | 250 | 2,640 | 600 | 6,330 | 0.0082 | 21.6 | 51.9 |
| Brass / free-machining | 150 | 1,580 | 400 | 4,220 | 0.0061 | 9.64 | 25.7 |
| Low-carbon steel (1018) | 90 | 950 | 300 | 3,160 | 0.0092 | 8.74 | 29.1 |
| Alloy steel (4140, annealed) | 70 | 740 | 250 | 2,640 | 0.0101 | 7.47 | 26.7 |
| Stainless 304 | 40 | 420 | 150 | 1,580 | 0.0060 | 2.52 | 9.48 |
| Gray cast iron | 80 | 840 | 250 | 2,640 | 0.0063 | 5.29 | 16.6 |
| Titanium 6Al-4V | 25 | 260 | 100 | 1,050 | 0.0041 | 1.07 | 4.31 |
| Plastics (acetal) | 300 | 3,160 | 500 | 5,270 | 0.0049 | 15.5 | 25.8 |
Metric: Vc (m/min) = SFM × 0.3048; feed (mm/rev) = in/rev × 25.4. In steel, 950 RPM × 0.234 mm/rev = 222 mm/min.
Worked example: 9.2 mm drill in 1018 steel
- HSS drill in low-carbon steel: 90 SFM.
- RPM = 3.82 × 90 ÷ 0.3622 ≈ 950 RPM.
- Feed for a 0.362 in drill in mild steel ≈ 0.0092 in/rev.
- IPM = 950 × 0.0092 = 8.74 IPM.
Peck cycle by hole depth
| Depth | Cycle | Peck | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3×D = 1.087 in (27.6 mm) | G81 (no peck) | None | Up to 3×D a sharp drill clears chips on its own. |
| 5×D = 1.811 in (46 mm) | G73 chip-break | 1 × D | Chip-break pecks; full retract if chips pack (soft aluminum, stainless). |
| 8×D = 2.898 in (73.6 mm) | G83 full retract | 0.5-1 × D, shrinking with depth | Retract to clear chips; reduce feed ~10-20% past 5×D. |

Common questions
- What is a 9.2 mm drill in decimal and mm?
- 0.3622 in, or 9.200 mm; nearest fractional drill: 23/64" (0.3594 in, -0.0028 in); nearest number / letter drill: Letter T (0.3580 in, -0.0042 in).
- What RPM for a 9.2 mm drill in steel?
- In low-carbon steel (1018) an HSS 9.2 mm drill (0.3622 in) runs about 950 RPM at 90 SFM; a carbide drill about 3,160 RPM at 300 SFM. RPM = 3.82 × SFM ÷ D.
- What feed for a 9.2 mm drill?
- About 0.0092 in/rev in mild steel, 0.0082 in/rev in aluminum and 0.0060 in/rev in 304 stainless. At 950 RPM that is 8.74 IPM in steel (IPM = RPM × IPR).
- What RPM for a 9.2 mm drill in aluminum?
- 2,640 RPM with HSS (250 SFM) or up to 6,330 RPM with carbide (600 SFM), feeding about 0.0082 in/rev.
- What tap uses a 9.2 mm drill?
- M10x1.25 (cut tap, 50% thread).
