You need a more descriptive title or the thread will be locked. Forum rules require a title that gives enough information that a member doesn't need to click on it to se what it's about.

Something like your entire first sentence would be ideal.

In plastic? No problem. Aluminum? Probably. Inconel? Not at recommended feed and speed, that's for sure.

My closest reference point is a VF-3SS will handle a 3/4" inserted spade drill in 17-4 H900 just fine.
