No pecking 30 75 is required. Apply maximum possible coolant flow rate. 2010 5025 4 After having reached the required depth, reduce speed to 50-100 RPM while exiting from the hole.

On equipment that uses water-soluble fluids (i.e. machining centers and CNC machines) a concentration 1xD between 10% and 15% is recommended. 2 Slow rotation and feed while entering to the pre-hole Guidelines for Optimal Gundrill Performance • Coolant pressure and flow • It is recommended to use a strong coolant flow for efficient chip flushing and cooling of the cutting edge • Filtration: It is recommended to use a filter under 20 µm. • Note: Improper filtration may result in interrupted flow of the lubricating oil. This creates a sticky surface on the bearing pads and leads to premature wear of the tool 1xD and overloading the coolant pump and spindle seals. 3 Maintain for 2-3 seconds and activate the cooling system • The coolant temperature should be between 20 and 22º C.Note: Above 50º C the viscosity of the coolant is reduced by 50% and becomes ineffective. 1xD 4 Continue drilling at recommended cutting conditions SUMOGUN 295
