Large runout will influence drill performance tool life and hole quality. • No setup time is needed after indexing the SUMOCHAM drill head. • SUMOCHAM drills can be used either on milling centers or lathe machines. • When using SUMOCHAM drill in stationary (lathe) applications, we recommend using the ISCAR GYRO device or eccenter sleeve to reduce misalignment. Misalignment will cause poor performance of the SUMOCHAM drill or even tool breakage. 4 Continue drilling at recommended cutting conditions 68 ISCAR
