Note: The following procedure (1-4) is recommended 2. Enter the pre-hole at slow speed, feed and 50 for up to 400 mm hole depths using RPM until 1-2 mm before reaching the bottom. MNCNT …-400… drills 3. Activate the cooling system and increase rotation For hole depths between 400 up to 800 mm, use speed to recommended drilling speed, maintain for 2-3 MNCNT …-800… drill only after reaching 400 seconds, then continue at recommended drilling feed. mm depth with an MNCNT …-400… drill. No pecking is required. Apply maximum possible coolant flow rate. 4. After having reached the required depth, reduce speed to 50-100 RPM while exiting from the hole. 1. Pre-hole 1xD deep 2.

SUMOGUN Drilling Range Drilling Diameter • Temperature of the coolant Q l/min P bar GUNDRILL Machines The coolant temperature should be between Milling and Turning Machines 20 and 22º C. Note: Above 50º C the viscosity of the coolant is reduced by 50% and becomes ineffective. Gundrill Lubrication and Cooling The best performance is obtained by using oil. On equipment that uses water-soluble fluids (i.e. machining centers and CNC machines) a concentration between 10% and 15% is recommended. 657
