The resulting quality depends on different factors such as:
500 1000 mm Drilling Depth Stationary workpiece – rotating tool Rotating workpiece – stationary tool
The geometric quality of bores obtained from deep hole drill bits is clearly higher than that obtained with the use of twist drills. It is possible to obtain precision with deviations of less than 4 µm.
