the limit, the drilled hole will also
become large causing an increase * Horizontal cutting force.

■ Influence of Work
● Work material with slanted or uneven surface (Entrance) (Exit)
Material Surface
If the surface of the hole entrance or exit is
slanted or uneven, decrease the feed rate to 1/3
to 1/2 of the recommended cutting condition.


■ How to Use a Long Drill ● Problem Hole bend
When using a long drill (XHGS type), DAK type drill,
SMDH-D type drill, or SMDH-12.5D type drill at high Position shift
rotation speeds, the run-out of the drill tip may cause
a deviation of the entry point as shown on the right,
bending the drill hole and resulting in drill breakage.
