Machine The machine's rapid feed is used.Whipping effect occurs.The shape of the guide bush is not suitable.Use cutting feed.Place a whip guide at the appropriate position.Use the guide bush in the shape suitable for the workpiece.G The drill is not set properly. Set the drill with an appropriate torque, hydraulicpressure, etc. Drill Regrinding is in poor quality. Make sure no damage is left on the drill and that the Hcutting edge geometry is not changed. Cutting condition The feed (f) is too high. Use low feed.WorkpieceThe workpiece surface is slanted.Use low feed.Clamping the workpiece is unstable.Clamp the workpiece firmly.I Machine The shape of the guide bush is not suitable.The feed speed (Vf) varies.The number of revolutions varies (decreases).Modify the shape of the guide bush.See “Chip packing” for the details.Use mechanical feed.Increase the machine power or adjust the cutting conditions.J Drill Abnormal damage occurs. See “Short tool life” for the details. Cutting condition The feed (f) is not suitable. Use an appropriate feed.WorkpieceInterrupted or cross drilling is required.Change the tool to a standard gundrill.OthersChip packing occurs.See “Chip packing” for the details.K The tip is too long. Make the tip length short. Drill The selection of the guide pads is not suitable. Use 2 guide pads instead of 3.The clearance of the coolant hole is too large.Reduce the clearance of the coolant hole.L Cutting condition The feed (f) is too high. Use low feed. Workpiece The workpiece surface is slanted. Use low feed.MachineClamping the workpiece is unstable.Clamp the workpiece firmly.M Cutting condition Burnishing torque (cutting power) is increased Reduce cutting speed (Vc). due to reduced hole diameter.
