...determine accuracy of hole drilling, both largely depending on drill diameter and whether centre drilling and bushing are used. The smaller the drill, the greater the accuracy. For 6–18 mm drill diameters, location varies from ±0.05 to ±0.2 mm, oversize from 0.075 to 0.15 mm. Surface finish is typically 1.5–5 µm Ra, but can be as low as 0.5 µm Ra. Milling Cutters...
