| Positioning of outer tube and guide bush | Guide 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 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
