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.
