Problem
Chipping on the chisel edge
Chipping on the cutting edges / built-up edge
Excessive wear on the cutting corners
Chipping on the lands
Hole diameter out of tolerance
Hole not straight
Cause
- Poor clamping of the chuck
- Unsuitable cutting conditions
- Chisel runout
- Workpiece movement
- Poor clamping of the chuck
- Unsuitable cutting conditions
- Insufficient coolant
- Rough application
- Insufficient coolant
- Large runout
- Unsuitable cutting conditions
- Rough application

- Large runout
- Worn out center point (chisel)
- Insufficient chip evacuation
- Poor clamping of the chuck
- Workpiece rigidity
- Worn out drill center point (chisel)
- Unsuitable cutting conditions
Solution
- Check the clamping. Use hydraulic clamping chuck, maxin power chuck or a shrink system.
- Decrease feed, increase coolant pressure.
- Check or replace the clamping adaptation.
- Increase workpiece chucking force.
- Check the clamping. Use hydraulic clamping chuck, maxin power chuck or a shrink system.
- Increase cutting speed, reduce feed rate.
- Check cooling lubricant. Increase coolant pressure. In the case of external coolant supply, improve jet direction and add cooling jets.
- Reduce feed rate by 30-50% during entry and exiting.
- Check cooling lubricant. Increase coolant pressure. In the case of external coolant supply, improve jet direction and add coolant jets.
- Check if the runout is within 0.02 mm T.I.R. (radial & axial)
- Reduce cutting speed, increase feed.
- Reduce feed rate by 30-50% during entry and exit.
- Check the clamping. Use hydraulic clamping chuck, maxin power chuck or a shrink system.
- Increase workpiece chucking force.
- Check cooling lubricant. Increase coolant pressure. In the case of external coolant supply, improve jet direction and add coolant jets.
- Check drill type, drilling depth, cooling system and workpiece material.
- Increase feed. When spot drilling, reduce feed.
- If hole size is too large, increase cutting speed or reduce feed. If hole size is too small, reduce cutting speed or increase feed.
- Check the clamping. Use hydraulic clamping chuck, maxin power chuck or a shrink system.
- Make sure that the drill’s runout is within 0.02 mm (radial & axial).
- Regrind cutting edge or replace the drill.
- Use pecking cycle.
- Check the clamping. Use hydraulic clamping chuck, maxin power chuck or a shrink system.
- Increase workpiece chucking force.
- Regrind cutting edge.
- Increase feed. When spot drilling, reduce feed.
