Coolant PressureInsert Positioning
  • Apply above 6 Bar in 2.25xD tools (optimal pressure For drilling, cutting edge should be positioned in the center is above 10 Bar). of tool body. Radial Adjustment (off-center drilling)

Correct Correct Wrong

  • Radial adjustment is dependent on drill diameter

Cutting edge for drilling

Optimization of Chip Shape

  • Apply high-speed machining on low carbon steel Cutting edge
  • Produce thin chips, as most problems for drilling are caused by thick chips
  • Regulate chips produced by machining Setup medium-to-high carbon steel
  • If too tight, either increase speed and reduce feed, or reduce speed and increase feed
  • If too long, reduce speed and increase feed

Check formation of core and its size after drilling 3 mm to

Adjust Y-axis of the tool body by using the new adjustable Troubleshooting clamping unit (if available) or rotate the tool body 180° and secure it into a turret. Check the core again.

ProblemSolution
Chipping caused by built-up edge• Increase cutting speed • Reduce feed • Check tool and workpiece rigidity • Reduce tool and workpiece overhang
• Reduce cutting speed
Excessive flank wear• Use a harder grade (special) • Increase coolant flow • Check cutting edge height
• Reduce cutting speed
Edge• Use a harder grade (special)
deformation• Increase coolant flow • Reduce feed
• Reduce feed
Poor surface quality• Increase coolant flow • Check tool and workpiece rigidity • Increase cutting speed
• Increase feed
Long chips• Reduce cutting speed • Increase coolant flow
Tight chips• Reduce feed
• Check tool and workpiece rigidity • Reduce tool and workpiece overhang • Reduce cutting speed
Vibrations• Increase feed • Check cutting edge height • Reduce feed and increase cutting speed on very soft materials
