D=Cutting diameter
H=Carbide length
N=Regrinding area = H-D
W=Hole depth
B=Chip evacuation area = For typical
gundrill machines, 250 mm
=For machining centers, 2xD (minimum 15 mm)
F=10 mm.
LA = Driver length
LS = Flute length
L=Overall length

Example Drilling of a ø10x500 depth hole on a gundrill machine with ø25x70 mm driver code No. 57 (See page 302) D=10 W=500 LA=70 B=250 (or per experience) L=N+W+B+F+LA L=(35-10)+500+250+13+70=858 (OAL) Ls=N+W+B=770 (flute length) Ordering Code For example: D and Ls are available as standard STGD-10000-0858-57-IC08 Diameter Range Head Length

On equipment that uses water-soluble fluids (i.e. efficient chip flushing and cooling of the cutting edge machining centers and CNC machines), a concentration It is recommended to use a filter under 20 µm between 10% and 15% is recommended. Note: Improper filtration may result in interrupted flow of 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

  • The coolant temperature should be between 20 and 22º C. Note: Above 50º C the viscosity of the coolant is reduced by 50% and becomes ineffective.
