We recieved a HUGE order for a conveyer made out of Delrin. My shop has only cut various metals so this is something a bit new to me (the tool guy) and my concerns are revolving around tool life. It calls out for two 9/16 thru holes with a depth of 14.5" and i happened to have a couple HSS drills that will just barely work. Thanks to my awesome~ quoting department the time table i have is extremely tight so i couldn't approach this the proper way due crazy lead times and i'm a bit concerned about these drills making it through the whole job. New drills are 6 weeks out so theres little to no room for tooling issues. How fast can i expect this material to dull my drills?
