Standard values for speeds with HSS – Eco – twist drilling (U.S. unit
)
1: Speed (n) in RPM
2: Feed Rate (f) in./rev.
3: Coolant: E = Emulsion; Oil = Cutting oil
The above mentioned indications are standard values. In some cases it may be
advantageous to increase or decrease these values.
When drilling a cooling or lubricating agent should be used.
For stainless materials (e.g. VA – or NIRO steel sheets) do not center as the material
would compact and the drill bit will become rapidly blunt.
The workpieces need to be tensed in flexibly and stably (vice, screw clamp).
INFORMATION
High temperatures are generated at the tip of the tool by the occurring friction heat. The tool
should be cooled during the milling process. Cooling the tool with a suitable cooling lubricant
ensures better working results and a longer edge life of the cutting tool.
INFORMATION
Use a water-soluble and non-pollutant emulsion as a cooling agent.This can be acquired from
authorised distributors.
Make sure that the cooling agent is properly retrieved. Respect the environment when dispos-
ing of any lubricants and coolants. Follow the manufacturer’s disposal instructions.
