Troubleshooting

A

Starting on Uneven Surfaces • Reduce entry feed by 50% if necessary

1.

DRILLING

Starting on Angled Surfaces • Reduce entry feed by 20 - 50% • Use lower rake geometry if insert chipping occurs Angled Bore Exit • Reduce entry feed by 50% on breakout • Use tough insert and stable corner radius Starting on Convex Surfaces • Reduce entry feed by 50% • Use lower rake geometry if insert chipping occurs

BORING

4.

Drilling Through a Cross Hole • Reduce feed rate 50% if necessary

5.

• Use good coolant flow and monitor chip packing • Use lower rake geometry if insert chipping occurs

C

Drilling on a Groove or Large Centering Box • Reduce entry feed • Use lower rake geometry for center insert

REAMING

6.

Chain Drilling • Use good coolant flow • Reduce feed rate by 50% for interrupted cut • Use lower rake geometry if insert chipping occurs Starting on an Edge • Reduce entry feed rate by 50% • Use lower rake geometry if insert chipping occurs Starting on a Welded Seam • Reduce entry feed rate by 50% • Use lower rake geometry if insert chipping occurs
