Troubleshooting i n gun drilling

ProblemCauseTriggerCountermeasure
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 shMachineThe run-out of the spindle is too large.Minimize the run-out of the spindle.
e fi niThe 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 iThe feed speed (Vf) varies.Use mechanical feed.
gh su iThe number of revolutions varies (decreases).Increase the machine power or adjust the cuttingconditions.
