Drill Diameter D (mm) * For special drills more than 8xD, it is recommended to use higher coolant pressure 15–70 bar. To guarantee chip evacuation, the coolant must always
flow through the tool. If the machine is not equipped Use internal coolant with at least 15 bar pressure. with coolant through the spindle, we recommend using a coolant inducer. External coolant supply can be used if hole depth is less than 1xD and reduced
cutting data is applied. The diagram shows the
coolant flow rates for different drills and pressures. kw Net Power
8 Coolant Mix Recommended emulsion mix is 6-8%. 6 When drilling in stainless and high strength
4 steels, a mix of 10% is recommended. When using the IDI drilling head, high pressure oil or 2 7-15% mineral or vegetable based oil emulsion is highly recommended for drilling stainless steel and 0

It is possible to drill without coolant in cast iron. Speed: 100 m/min
Oil mist through the drill is then required (for 2xD max). 0.2 mm/rev Feed: Values change for different materials and drilling conditions.
