There are many factors that justify the use of dry machining and machining with minimum volume of oil, including the costs of lubrication, the damage caused by the use of lubricants, etc. The main objective of this work is to check the performance of minimum lubrication technique compared with the application of soluble oil in the drilling of aluminum-silicon alloy using uncoated and diamond coated carbide drills. The most important conclusion is that the performance of the process when using minimum lubrication was very similar to that obtained when using flood of soluble oil.
