In the 21st century, as it is important to produce products with care for protecting the earth, a producer must be careful to conserve energy, save resources and reduce waste which pollutes environment. On the other hand, in case of a drilling, much cutting oil was also used for lubrication and cooling. This is large problem for protecting the earth. Therefore drilling technology using strong alkali water with micro-bubble was developed. A drill with through hole was used for this technology. Cooling effect of strong alkali water with micro-bubble was firstly investigated on the experiment. Then heat transfer coefficient of the drill with through hole was evaluted for cooling capacity. Tool life of the drill using strong alkali water with micro-bubble was also evaluated in the experiment of drilling using Ti6Al4V which has small thermal conductivity and is a material with difficult machining. It is concluded from the results that; (1) Cooling of strong alkali water with micro-bubble was very effectuive, (2) Heat transfer coefficient of the drill using strong alkali water with micro-bubble was 3.5 times of that of dry drilling, (3) Tool life of the drill using strong alkali water with micro-bubble was 6.5 times of that of dry drilling and 2 times of that of ordinary wet drilling respectively, (4) The drilling using strong alkali water with micro-bubble was economical and eco-friendly.
