Re: question about metal for machinists

Cutting oil both cools and lubricates...its either 1 of 2 or both things...the bit is dull or the bolt could be surface hardened...meaning you drilled out the softer center and have hit the hard surface...
I've had issues drilling some bolts...and case hardened is usually the reason...
