USER GUIDE Troubleshooting Irregular Conditions for DR Drills If surface slope exceeds 5º, reduce feed by 50% during penetration or exit. It is preferred to pre-face the surface to eliminate slope. 1. Drilling into a pre-hole reduces feed to eliminate deflection (1) of the drill body. 2. Drilling an interrupted cut reduces feed during INDEXABLE DRILLS crossing to eliminate deflection (1) of the drill body. 3. Insufficient stability of workpiece requires additional support. Reduce feed. (1) Deflection may be observed by a mark on the drill body. Note: For irregular applications, , use DR drills with XOMT 1 2 3 inserts as a first priority. Regular Conditions for DR Drills Stacked Plates Drilling operation is not recommended, but may be done by specially designed drills in 16-60 mm range. Apply standard cutting data. Note: For irregular applications, use DR drills with XOMT inserts as a first priority.

Long chips that rotate around the drill are problematic. If chip formation can not be improved by changing the machining conditions, use a pecking cycle.
