Solid Carbide Drills Troubleshooting Guide problem source solution hole too big cutting conditions • Check cutting values, increase cutting speed, or reduce feed. clamping chuck • Check clamping accuracy and torque transmission. Use hydraulic clamping chuck or high-precision chucking system. wrong drill • Check drill diameter. Please note that drills are ground to a positive tolerance. Check concentric running. hole too small insufficient coolant • Check cooling lubricant. In the case of internal coolant supply, increase coolant pressure. In the case of external coolant supply, adjust positioning of coolant jet. Cool from both sides. cutting conditions • Decrease feed; increase speed. wrong drill • Check cutting-edge diameter. hole not cylindrical clamping chuck • Check clamping accuracy and torque transmission. Use hydraulic clamping chuck or high-precision chucking system. workpiece movement • Stabilise workpiece chucking and check stability of machine tool. wrong drill • Check drill type and drilling depth.
