Cooling Methods How to Select Cutting Parameters Directing the coolant through the tool is essential for reliable machining. This method prevents Step 1 - Prior to Drilling chip pile up, insert damage or breakage, Use charts on pages 122-124 to select feed and damage to the workpiece surface. and speed according to workpiece material.
Internal Coolant External Coolant recommend selecting IC808.
Step 2 - Initial Test Hole Drilling
SOMT/SOMX
Too Tight Optimal Shape Too Long
Apply standard cutting data. Drilling depth is limited to 1.5xD. For larger depths, a pecking cycle is recommended.
Rotating Drills may cause may cause insert damage tool damage
Chip control is one of the most important factors for tool performance in order to facilitate chip evacuation and avoid tool damage. Cutting conditions must be adjusted to achieve optimal chip shape.
