USER GUIDE Recommended Drilling Procedure for Deep Hole Drilling (20XD) 1. Drill a pilot hole 1-2*D deep with a short drill. The pilot drill should be 0.03-0.05 mm larger than the long drill 1 and its point angle should also be larger (over 140°). 2. Enter the pre-hole using low speed and feed until it 2 engages the material. 3. Increase cutting speed and feed to recommended conditions – no pecking is required! 3 4. After having reached the required depth, reduce speed by more than 50% while retracting from the hole. 4 Recommended Drilling Conditions for Solid Carbide 20xD Drills Carbon Steel Alloy Steel Cast Iron Ductile Cast Iron Stainless Steel Drill Dia.
