Drilling machinability of pure titanium was investigated by using a high speed steel drill. The drilling experiment was conducted changing helix angle under a dry condition. Out of roundness was worsening with increasing helix angle and it improved with increase cutting speed. Amount of eccentricity was worsening with increasing helix angle. Out of roundness and amount of eccentricity were independent of feed. The diameter of entrance was larger than diameter of exit.
