Stability Tool Life
The stability of the application volume is important in order Drills should not be used with flank
to obtain the very best tool life and hole accuracy. Check wear exceeding 0.2-0.3 mm.
the condition of the machine spindle, fixture and fixturing
of the component to secure maximum stability and rigidity.
Unstable conditions can cause tool breakage. 0.2-0.3 mm
