Tried asking this in another forum but got no reply.


I have just cncd my sx2 mill with 280 oz in (1.89Nm ) motors, xylotex controller and 1605 ball screw and nuts.


I'm drilling deep holes 27mm through aluminium with a new 5mm hss drill.


I'm using the following deep drill gcode G98G83X6.749Z-27.066Q0.531R3.0F10 spindle running at 2500Rpm.


It's taking over 35 minutes to drill 4 holes and I'm losing steps.


There's no counter balance or gas struts on the mill and I'm using WD40.


Question should I expect to get faster results without losing steps.
