Solid Carbide Drills Troubleshooting Guide problem source solution drill breakage 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, drilling depth, cooling system, and workpiece material. 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 • Check cutting values, and possibly reduce feed. clamping chuck • Check torque transmission.
