Troubleshooting in Drilling

TroubleOccurrencesCountermeasures
Excessive wear of cutting edgeRegrinding
Too much feedDecrease feed
Poor surface conditions of work ieceChips clog in holeAdd number of exit
pThe others1.Thin web 2.Check for proper guide-bush 3.Use the highly rigid spindle
Feed too heavyDecrease feed rate
Chips clog in hole1.Check for proper chip space 2.Check for proper helix angle
BreakageInsufficient rigidity of drill1.Reduce feed 2.Shortening length of drill 3.Increasing web thickness
Unstable in throughout hole drilling1.Reduce feed while throughout drilling 2.Check set up rigidity 3.Use the highly rigid spindle
Feed speed too highDecrease feed rate
ChippingTool high lip relief angle1.Reduce lip relief angle 2.Reduce feed in drilling 3.Check set up rigidity
During oversize operation1.Properly grind point angle 2.Reduce cutting speed
Hole oversizePoint angle is not properly, large chip of one flute; small chip of other flute1.Regrinding 2.Thin web 3.Properly grind point angle 4.Guide-bush
