When drilling into Carbon or FRP panels. I’m aware that stepping your drill bits up to the size you want will give you clean edges rather than frayed. So beyond that basic step my question is below...

I know there’s charts online, but In your experience, what RPM do you set your drill press to for drilling glass/carbon/Kevlar?

Agreed on the aramid thing.

Stepping the bits up gradual to 10mm at 1200 rpm seemed to produce ok edges on the opposite side of the drill head.
