Drill specification and cutting parameters
| Chip pocket | The chip pocket ensures that the chips are removed out of the hole during processing. | |
| Helical angle | The helical angle describes the pitch of the flute. It's specified according to the to be mac hardened materials small helical angle large | l i hined material. tough materials |
| Cutting edge length or spiral length | The cutting edge length needs to be specified according to the drilling depth, guide bus length. The larger the helical angle, the lower the stability. Since it greatly influences the sible. The recommended min. spiral length is the drilling depth plus 1.5 times of the hole | i hing length and the whole regrinding l tool life, it should be as small as pos- diameter. |
| Point angle | Generally the point angle is 140°, for special applications it should be set differently. tough materials, easy to machine small point angle large | hardened materials and high-performance drilling |
| Core diameter | The core diameter is an important factor and influences the stability and the chip flow. low axial cutting force low stability for easy to machine materials small core diameter la | rge high axial cutting force high stability for hardened materials or cross holes |
| Chamfer width | The chamfer width influences the guidance and friction of the drill during machining. low friction and bad drill guidance small chamfer width large | high friction and good drill guidance |
| Back taper | The drill diameter is slightly reduced from cutting edge to shank to reduce friction during | machining. |
| Body clearance | The area behind the chamfer width. The body clearance is necessary to reduce friction du | ring machining. |
Deep hole drilling 1 Preparation of the pilot hole with 1534SP03C*
– Point angle of pilot drill must be bigger than SL drill. – Diameter of pilot drill must be 0.01–0.04 mm bigger than SL drill. – The pilot hole should be 1–3×D.
2 Entering the pilot hole with SL drill
E 3 Manufacturing the deep hole
– Entering the pilot hole with low cutting speed. (VC: 20–30 m/min) – Stop 1–3 mm before end of pilot hole. (Vf = 0) – Increase cutting speed up to recommended parameter and then start drilling at feed rate.
– Drilling with suitable cutting speed and feed rate. In case of cross holes feed rate should be reduced to 0.05 mm/rev..
4 Pulling out the drill
– After reaching the required depth reduce the cutting speed (VC: 20–30 m/ min) and pull out the drill at high feed rate. (Vf: 2000 mm/min)
