KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN USING DRILLS WITH REPLACEABLE BITS

Drilling tools with replaceable inserts are among the most problematic tools during use. First of all, we can list some points to be considered in order to perform a problem-free drilling process as follows.

· If the drilling operation is to be performed on the lathe; the chuck and turret / tool must be on the same axis. There should not be any misalignment.

· Cooling water pressure and flow rate must be appropriate for the operation.

· The workbench must be suitable for drilling.

· A properly designed and manufactured tool. The following points should be noted about the tool.

o The material from which the tool is made; if a suitable and high quality tool steel is not used; the tool may wear very quickly.

o Design chip channels to facilitate chip flow and not weaken the tool.

o Accurate and precise manufacturing of the end slots in the correct position.

· Drilling operation and selection of the appropriate bit for the material.

· Cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed, etc.) should be selected according to the operation, machine and material.

The points mentioned above are the first things to consider.
