For holders 8xD or longer
Step 1: Approach
- 50 RPM max
- 12 IPM (300 mm/min)
Details:
- Feed the longer drill within 1/16" (1.5mm) short of the workpiece at a maximum of 50 RPM and 12 IPM (300 mm/min) feed rate.
Step 2: Feed-In
- Speed at 75% of recommended start
- Feed at 50% of recommended start
Details:
- Drill 3/4" deep at 75% recommended speed and 50% recommended feed to establish the hole.
Step 3: Deep Hole Drilling - Blind
- 100% RPM
- 100% IPR (mm/rev)
Details:
- Drill to full depth at recommended speed and feed for longer drills (according to Allied Machine speed and feed charts).
- No peck cycle recommended.
Step 4: Deep Hole Drilling at Breakout
- 50% RPM
- 100% IPM (mm/rev)
Details:
For through holes only:
- Reduce speed by 50% prior to breakout.
- Do not break out more than 1/8" (3mm) past the full diameter of the drill.
Step 5: Drill Retract
Details:
- Reduce speed to a maximum of 50 RPM before retracting from the hole.
Tool failure can cause serious injury. To Prevent: NEVER rotate these tool holders more than 50 RPM without proper engagement with a workpiece or fixture. Failure to do so could result in tool failure and/or personal injury. Factory technical assistance is also available for your specific applications.
