DRILLING RECOMMENDATIONS

HSS DRILL
Use HSS drills only when you have unstable machine conditions. HSS drills are only
suitable up to 500 Brinell. If the machine conditions are good, you can choose among
solid cemented carbide drills, drills with exchangeable heads or indexable insert drills.

ADVICE FOR REDUCING VIBRATIONS AND


INCREASING THE LIFETIME OF THE DRILL
• Minimize the distance to the column and between the drill tip and the workpiece
• Don’t use a longer drill than necessary
• Always use metal supports and clamp the workpiece securely
• Solid and firm table
• Always use coolant
• Coolant mix 8-12%
• Just before the drill breaks through, disengage the feed rate for about a second,
play/springback can otherwise snap the drill tip. Re-engage the feed rate when the
play/springback has ceased
