Positioning of outer tube and guide bushGuide bush Workpiece

Be sure to set the outer tube more than 5.0 mm into the guide bush to Outer tube properly supply the coolant. Positioning of workpiece material and guide bush

Sealing is not required for DTS because of the vacuum effect, but keep the gap between workpiece material and guide bush within 1.0 mm. At least 5.0 mm Up to 1.0 mm

Guide bush

Tolerance

Guide bush tolerance should be øD (mm) G6 tolerance (mm) G6 in order to keep consistent 16.00 - 18.00 +0.006 - +0.017 tool life and cutting accuracy.

Diameters for G6 tolerance are 18.01 - 28.00 +0.007 - +0.020

Coolant

TemperatureFiltration
The proper coolant temperature is 30 - 40°CThe coolant must be filtered properly in order to
(90 - 100°F).protect guide pads and workpiece surface.
If the temperature exceeds this range, the coolantWater-soluble type

will deteriorate easily and may shorten tool life and Around 10% (dilution rate 1/10) is recommended for generate poor surface finish. the concentration of water-soluble coolant in order to

protect guide pads.
