The above mentioned indications are standard values. In some cases it may be advanta-
geous 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
Friction during the cutting process causes high temperatures at the cutting edge of the tool. The
tool should be cooled during the milling process. By cooling with an appropriate coolant lubri-
cant you will achieve a better working result and longer durability of the 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.
INFORMATION
The CNC milling machine is lacquered with a one-component paint. Observe this fact when
selecting your cooling lubricant.
