How much material (depth of cut) should you plan to remove with a .125"

(diameter, obviously the direction and position will be dictated by the
accuracy of the original drilled hole)

How fast would you turn it, or in a lathe the work piece?

What lubricant / coolant would you use?



4584 RPM Feed = 0.0015 per rev. or 6.87 IPM

drill with #31 drill 0.1200"

cut dry, maybe air blast to clear chips out.
