irons and different scrap irons will change the chip removal performance. Therefore, the control of drilling speed
can directly decide the chip removal performance and it's also the decisive factor of the service life os spade drills
If the feed speed is too slow during drilling process, the scrap iron will be too soft to be broken and will twine the
arbor. In addition, the excessively slow feed speed will accelerate the abrasion speed of insert. If the feed speed is
too fast, the scrap iron is relatively hard, will be removed in fragment shape, and is easy to cause chip blockage
and result in tipping, fragmenting. Therefore, it's particularly important to choose appropriate drilling speed..
III. Selection of cooling liqid
(please refer to the Recommendation List for Pressure and Flow of Cooling Liquid)
Reasonable selection of drilling fluid can reduce the drilling force, decrease drilling temperature, reduce the
thermal deformation of processing system, prolong the service life of tools, and improve the quality of processing
surface, particularly important to choose appropriate drilling speed.
1. Functions of clling liquid
Cooling function : pour the drilling fluid in the processing area and take advantage of thermal conduction,
convection, gasification and other means to decrease the processing temperature and reduce the thermal
deformation of processing syste. Lubricating function: the drilling liquid can permeate to the tools and between chip and
processing surface to form
protective film which can reduce the friction between contact surfaces and improve the quality of processing
surface. Chip removal and washing fuctions: it can remove the chip, guide the chip flow direction, and flush the scattered

requirements on hole diameter and tolerance. to realize full cooling and improve the
service life of tools, internal cooling method is adopted during the drilling process and there is also certain

Aiming at spade drills of different diameters, the requirement on drilling speed is certainly different. Reasonable 3 -4kg, and the flow is about 20-25L/min.
drilling speed will directly influence the service life of spade drill. Therefore, it's particularly important to select
reasonable drilling speed so that the spade drill can match the drilling & machining material. IV. Matters needing attention
1. Selection of drilling speed (please refer to the Drilling Speed Recommendation List) 1. When selecting the spade drill, it's required to choose sitable connection type and matching arbor and insert
according to requirements on equipment and workpeice materials, so as to give full play to the performances of
RPM = (Vc x 1000) / (n x Dia.) Vf = fn x RPM (mm/min) spade drill.
where: Vf = Feed per minute (mm/min)
RPM = Revolution per minute (rev/min) fn = Feed per revolution (mm/rev) 2. Select correct and reasonable cutting parameters in accordance with workpeice material to avoid mismatching
Vc = Cutting speed (m/min) RPM = Revolution per minute (rev/min) spade drill with drilling parameters of twist drill.

3. Select appropriate cooling liquid and cooling pressure to improve the drilling quality and life of tools.
Dia. = Diameter of drill (mm)
4. Prevent violent bump during the cutting and spotting to avoid tipping and influence on life of the insert.
