Cutting speed should be higher to avoid formation of built up edges, to reduce friction at low speeds.

The cutting speed is faster when drilling softer materials because they offer less resistance to the cutting tool, generate less heat, and result in smoother chip formation.

In contrast, drilling harder materials requires slower speeds to overcome resistance, manage heat, and extend tool life.

Understanding these principles is essential for optimizing machining processes in mechanical engineering applications.
