Shoutout to the old timer who told me to ignore the feed rate on the manual for drilling 316 stainless

Kept chirping and breaking bits until I finally listened to him, dropped the feed down to 0.002 per rev, and now it cuts like butter - has anyone else found the manuals way off for harder materials?

Same here, I used to just follow the book until a 0.002 feed change saved my sanity on 316.
