Drilling Tools B Guidelines for correct usage o f carbide drills

Holders for solid carbide drills: OK

A collet chuck holder is recommended for use with C carbide drills. When using a milling chuck holder, a collet chuck with a straight shank or straight collet should be used.

OK Chucking drills: Radial run out and lip height should be E less than 0.02mm. If run out or lip height

is larger (close to 0.05mm), machining is possible. However, less accurate holes or

Clamping workpieces:

Vibration orAdequate support

inadequate support can cause fractures or defl ection for preventing K

breakages through vibration. It is important defl ection the workpiece is rigidly clamped and has adequate support. L The criteria of tool life:

Corner wear width: equal to margin width Feed mark: 1 - 2 feed marks on the margin M Spindle load increase: 30% higher than starting level Corner wear width = margin width Irregular situation: worse chip control, hole diameter change, worse surface fi nish, larger burrs, bigger sound. Feed mark = 1 - 2 feed marks
