| I have a Porter Cable 890 router on my 3 axis K2 machine. The slowest setting is 10,000 rpm, and I am using Precise Bits drill bits designed for cnc with their collet. I am trying to drill 0.25 holes in HDPE, about 3/4 inch deep. I get build up of material on the bit, and by the third hole or so, it has a negative impact on the drilling. I am of the idea I need to slow the bit down? Or, I am thinking of peck drilling so the material cleans out. I am using the drill cycle, can't recall the #... but it is standard. I could use some advice.. |

| I use G83 with 1/4" upcut spirals to peck "drill" in wood. Should work with the drill bits. And I use the same router.
