Gundrill Lubrication and Cooling

The best performance is obtained by using oil. On equipment that uses water-soluble fluids (i.e. machining centers and CNC machines) a concentration between 10% and 15% is recommended. 1xD

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 and overloading the coolant pump and spindle seals.

1xD

  • The coolant temperature should be between 20 and 22º C.

3 Maintain for 2-3 seconds and activate the cooling system

Note: Above 50º C the viscosity of the coolant is reduced by 50% and becomes ineffective.
