| Problem | Cause | Trigger | Countermeasure |
| | Clamping the workpiece is unstable. | Clamp the workpiece firmly. |
| | The type of coolant is not appropriate. | Use water-insoluble coolant. |
| | Foreign material is in the coolant. | Thoroughly filtrate the coolant (Use a filter with the filtration accuracyin 10µm or less). |
| i sh | Machine | The run-out of the spindle is too large. | Minimize the run-out of the spindle. |
| e fi ni | | The clearance between the guide bush and the drill is not appropriate. | Replace the guide bush (The clearance should be between +0.003 and +0.008). |
| rfac i | | The feed speed (Vf) varies. | Use mechanical feed. |
| gh su i | | The number of revolutions varies (decreases). | Increase the machine power or adjust the cuttingconditions. |
| Rou i | | Abnormal damage occurs. | See “Short tool life” for the details. |
| Drill | Regrinding is in poor quality. | Make sure no damage is left on the drill and that the cutting edge geometry is not changed. |
| Cutting condition | The feed (f) is too high. | Reduce the feed. |
| Others | Chip packing occurs. | See “Chip packing” for the details. |
| | The clearance between the guide bush and the drill is not appropriate. | Replace the guide bush (The clearance should be between +0.003 and +0.008). |
| dricity, | Machine | The guide bush is apart from the workpiece surface at the entry. | Contact the guide bush closely with the workpiece. |
| yn | | The type of coolant is not appropriate. | Use water-insoluble coolant. |
| arity, c size curacy | | The concentricity of the guide bush and the spindle is too large. | Decrease the concentricity of the guide bush and the spindle. |

| table ci and o Hole | Drill | Regrinding is in poor quality. | Make sure no damage is left on the drill and that the cutting edge geometry is not changed. |
| ccep | Cutting condition | The feed (f) is not suitable. | Use an appropriate feed. |
| Una | Workpiece | Interrupted or cross drilling is required. | Change the tool to a standard gundrill. |

| le | | The clearance between the guide bush and the drill is not appropriate. | Replace the guide bush (The clearance should be between +0.003 and +0.008). |
| of ho | | The selection of the guide pads is not suitable. | Use 2 guide pads instead of 3. |
| ending | Drill | Regrinding is in poor quality. | Make sure no damage is left on the drill and that the cutting edge geometry is not changed. |
| B | Cutting condition | The feed (f) is too high. | Reduce the feed. |
| | The workpiece has blow holes or unevenness. | Use the workpiece without defect. |
| Workpiece | The workpiece surface is slanted at the entry. | Use low feed. |
| | Interrupted or cross drilling is required. | Change the tool to a standard gundrill. |
