The drilling process
Drilling ...
Solid drilling is the most common drilling

method, where the hole is drilled in solid
material to a predetermined diameter
and in a single operation.
... covers the methods of making cylindrical holes in a workpiece with metal
cutting tools. Drilling is associated with
subsequent machining operations such
as trepanning, counterboring, reaming
and boring. Common to all these processes is a main rotating movement combined with a linear feed. There is a clear
distinction between short hole and deep
hole drilling, the latter being a specialist method for making holes that have
depths of many times (up to 150 times
the diameter see seperate catalogue.)
With the development of modern tools
for short hole drilling, the need for preparatory and subsequent machining has
changed drastically. Modern tools have
led to solid drilling being carried out in
a single operation, normally without any
previous machining of centre and pilot
holes. The hole quality is good, where
subsequent machining to improve the
measurement accuracy and surface texture is often unnecessary.
The drilling process can in some respects be compared with turning and milling but the demands on chipbreaking and
the evacuation of chips is critical in drill-
Trepanning is principally used for larger

hole diameters since this method is not
so power-consuming as solid drilling.
The trepanning tool does not machine
the whole diameter, only a ring at the periphery. Instead of all the material being
removed in the form of chips, a core is
left round the centre of the hole consequently, this method is for through-hole
applications.
Counterboring is the enlargement of an
exisiting hole with a specically designed
tool. This machines away a substantial
amount of material at the periphery of
the hole.
ing. Machining is restricted by the hole

dimensions, the greater the hole depth,
the more demanding it is to control the
process and to remove the chips. Short
holes occur frequently on many components and high material removal rate is
a growing priority along with quality and
reliability.
Reaming is the nishing of an exisiting

hole. This method involves small working allowances to achieve high surface
nish and close tolerances.

Cutting data
The cutting speed, or surface speed (vc)

in for drilling is determined by the periphery speed and can be calculated from
the spindle speed (n) which is expressed
in number of revolutions per minute. During one revolution, the periphery of the
drill will describe a circle with a circumference of x Dc, where Dc is the tool
diameter. The cutting speed also varies depending upon which cutting edge
across the drill-face is being considered.
A machining challenge for drilling tools
is that from the periphery to the centre
of the drill, the cutting speed declines in
value, to be zero at the centre. Recommended cutting speeds are for the highest speed at the periphery.
The feed per revolution (n) in mm/rev

expresses the axial movement of the
tool during one revolution and is used to
calculate the penetration rate and to express the feed capability of the drill.
The penetration rate or feed speed (vf)
in mm/min is the feed of the tool in relation to the workpiece expressed in length
per unit of time. This is also known as
the machine feed or table feed. The
product of feed per revolution and spindle speed gives the rate at which the drill
penetrates the workpiece.
The hole depth (L) is an important factor
in drilling as is the radial cutting depth (ap)
and feed per tooth (fz) for calculations.
Machining holes
Holes are either made or nish machined.
Most workpieces have at least one hole
and depending upon the function of the
hole, it needs machining to various limitations. The main factors that characterize
a hole from a machining point of view are:
-
diameter
depth
quality
material
conditions
reliability
productivity

Main hole-machining factors.
Drilling
Cutting forces and power

To produce a hole requires a certain
amount of energy. Cutting forces act on
the drill as it penetrates through the workpiece removing metal and generating a
certain amount of power.
To start with, the power required in drilling varies with the type of workpiece
material when calculating how much is
required.
A specic cutting force for the material in
question also needs to be established.
The specic cutting force value (kc) in N
per square-mm has been worked out and
tested for most materials and is available in a table relating to the effective
rake angle of the tool and the average
chip thickness. It is dened as the tangential cutting force needed for a chip
with a certain cross-section (one square
mm) or the effective cutting force divided
by the theoretical chip area. Values are
indicated for a certain feed per tooth.
Steel normally has a specic cutting
force some three times that of non-ferrous alloys, and a HRSA has a value of
up to around twice that of steel.
In addition to the material factor, the
power (Pc) in kW required for a drilling
operation depends upon the diameter,
feed rate and cutting speed. A formula is
indicated for calculating the approximate
power requirement for a certain operation
and this can then be checked to ensure
that the machine tool in question copes
with the application. Most holes with a
moderate diameter are no problem for
modern machines but for large diamters
with depths of several times the diameter, it is wise to check the power.
acting on the drill as it penetrates the

material. It needs to be considered in order to ensure that the spindle power and
strength is sufcient for the drilling operation. Applying an excessive feed force
can affect the hole quality, tool reliability and stall the machine. On the other
hand, applying a sufcient feed force is
important for the cutting action and also
from producitivity point of view.
The feed force can be calculated from
the provided formula and is related to
the diameter of the drill, feed and material being drilled. The cutting edge angle of the drill (r), of the cutting edges,
also inuences the feed force. The point
angle of the drill is ().

D
Point angle and cutting edge angle.
Torque (Mc) in Nm is another value

which may be critical for some large-diameter drilling operations, especially trepanning, as regards the total drilling moment that the drill is subjected to during
machining. The feed, diameter and material are the main factors that affect the
torque value (see formula). The torque is
the sum of the moments on each cutting
edge and the product of the tangential
force and radius from the centre.
The feed force (Ff) in N is usually the
most important in driling from a performance point of view. This is the axial force
Feed force and torque.

Drilling
Chip control and cutting uid ...
... are important factors in drilling.

Generating suitable chip
forms and sizes and evacuating them are vital to
the succes of any drilling operation. Without
satisfactory
performace in this regard,
all drills will rapidly
become
ineffective
due to clogging up the
hole. Cutting speeds
and feeds are high with
modern drills but this has
only been made possible
through efcient evacuation of
chips with cutting uid.
Most short hole drills have two chip channels through which the chips are evacuated. With modern machines and drilling
tools, this is be done very effectively by
supplying cutting uid internally through
the tool coolant holes. The cuting uid is
ejected at the point of the drill during machining to lubricate the drill and ush out
chips throught the channels.
Chip information is inuenced by the
workpiece material, tool geometry, cutting speed, feed and to some extent the
choice of cutting uid. Generally, increased
feed and/or reduced cutting speed produces shorter chips. The chip length and
form can be said to be acceptable if the
chips can be ushed out reliably.
The rake angle (E) of the drill varies

along the cutting edge and decreases from the periphery towards
the centre of the drill, such
as with solid and brazed
cemented carbide twistdrills. Since the cutting
speed also drops from
the periphery towards
the centre, the cutting
edge will work ineffectively at the point of
the drill. As the point of
the drill presses and
scrapes the material rather
than cuts it, plastic deformation tends to occur where the rake
angle is negative and the cutting speed
low. This pressure gives rise to a relatively
high axial-force component. If the machine
is weak in relation to the size of hole to be
drilled, and the generated feed force, the
machine spindle may deect and, as a result, oval holes may be produced.
volume compensator can be used. But a

certain drop in pressure in the conductive system must also be taken into account for non-rotating drills and with external cutting uid supply.
The pressure in the system should be
checked as well as the ow, so that the
latter is at least at the level which is recommended for the drill and that there is a
good margin at the tank.The cutting uid
ow should be measured at the cutting
edge of the drill as this is where the recommended values apply. Minimum ow
and pressure values are recommended
relative to drill type and diameter.
Drilling with modern cemented carbide

drills enables high material removal
rates to be achieved and large volumes
of chips to be ushed out with cutting
uid, supplied internally under high pressure. The required pressure (Mpa) and
ow (l/min) are primarily dependent on
the hole diameter but are also affected
by the machining conditions and the
workpiece material.
When cutting uid is supplied internally,
rotating drills require higher cutting uid
pressure than non-rotating drills due to
the drop in pressure caused by the effect
of the centrifugal force. In order to avoid
having to compensate with very high
pressures on the cutting uid supply, a

Selecting drills
Modern cemented carbide drilling tools

are very efcient and have come a long
way from out-dated, high speed twistdrills - which are still in use in many machine shops. As a consequence, the cost
per machined hole has fallen dramatically. For solid cemented carbide drills,
tool-life is around 20 times better than
for HSS and the cutting speed capacity
several times higher with the same feed
rate. The basic concept of the twist-drill
as such is still with us but in a very rened form. The drill-point geometries
used today have vastly improved the cutting action of the conventional chiseledge and tool materials have lifted performance and extended tool-life.
Solid carbide and brazed twist-drills drill
operate at lower cutting speeds/higher
feeds in relation to machine and operation while indexable insert drills use high
cutting speeds/low feeds.
The modern cemented carbide twistdrills are application orienated towards
above all two directions:
- precision holes, giving closer tolerances and surface nishes than indexable
insert drills
- smaller diameter holes, where the indexable inserts drills are not a practical
solution.
The solid cemented carbide twist-drill
range of Coromant Delta-C covers diameters from 1.5 to 20 mm.
Thanks to the high bending stiffness of

cemented carbide, it is possible to apply
tool lengths of 8 times the diameter in
stable conditions (Tailor Made) and 12
to 14 times as specials.
The cemented carbide indexable insert
drill provides high machining productivity, versatility and long, reliable tool-life.
Todays drills are not just fast roughing
drills. They are capable of making holes
even more rapidly than the rst generations of these drills but they are also capable of nishing holes to a better level
and keeping within closer tolerances
than previously, not just from the solid
drilling operation but also from boring
and the Wiper insert technology.
Cemented carbide drills.
The indexable insert drills CoroDrill 880.

Coromant U-drill and T-Max U (including the trepanning tool version)
cover the diameter range 12 to
110 mm as standard.
The achievable hole tolerances with the new CoroDrill 880
drill have been almost halved to
+ 0.25 mm and with a moderate
feed, the surface nish possible is
Ra 0.5 micron.
Production economy has been
improved considerably with
the new CoroDrill 880 where
penetration rates are up to twice
as high.

holding and conditions. The drill shank
tolerance is h6. Cemented carbide grade
options are available for all materials,
including TwinGrade compound grade
for stainless steel drilling. Two different
grades are sintered together to provide
high speed capability for the periphery
and low speed capability for the centre
of the tool.
CoroDrill 880
E8
Drilling
Drill diameter points to type of drill

One of the rst things to be established
when choosing a hole-making tool is
whether an indexable insert drill or a
regrindable drill should be used. The
diameter of the hole is the rst factor.
Indexable insert drills cannot be used for
small diameter holes (smaller than 12
mm) so these applications need solid or
brazed cemented carbide drills.
Small-diameter holes
Solid cemented carbide drills, such as
the CoroDrill Delta C, are available in
different versions, covering a diameter
range from 0.3 to 20 mm.
Where it is possible to machine at high
spindle speeds the properties of cemented carbide should be utilized in order to
achieve increased productivity. When the
stability of the set-up is really poor, to the
extent that it puts the relaibility of the
carbide drill at risk, a high speed steel
drill can be an alternative choice.
When close tolerances are required,

and/or the hole depth restricts the use
of indexable insert drills, then Coromant
Delta is usually the best choice. With the
introduction of CoroDrill 880, however,
the borderline has shifted with indexable
insert drills now having the capability of
a nishing tool.
Large-diameter holes
Only indexable insert drills are available
for what is designated here as large diameter holes and the choice of tool is
primarily concerned with choosing the insert geometry and grade. When the machine power is limited, trepanning drills
are used instead of solid drills.
When the initial penetration surface is

not at, or the hole is predrilled or cross
drilling has to be undertaken, then indexable insert drills are often the only option. These will provide the lowest cost
per machined component, since there
are inserts that can be changed and no
regrinds. This cost advantage should be
particularly noted when machining large
volumes of components.
The combination of insert geometry/

grade is established between the peripheral insert and central insert to provide
optimal performance.
Very large diameter indexable insert drills

with several cartridges have peripheral
inserts, internal peripheral inserts, centre inserts and internal centre inserts.
When the diameter of the hole is within

the range covered by both CoroDrill Delta C
and Coromant Delta, the latter a brazed
carbide drill may often be the best
choice. Coromant Delta offers closer tolerances with respect to both size and
surface nish, low cutting forces and
high cutting data in the ISO K area.
Medium-sized hole diameters

The diameter range designated as medium sized hole diameters is the range in
which indexable insert drills and brazed
carbide drills (Coromant Delta) overlap.
F
Solid carbide drills to indexable insert trepanning tools cover hole diameters from 0.3 to 110 mm for short
hole drilling.

Recommendations for successful drilling

CoroDrill Delta-C
Maximum stability throughout the entire
system of spindle, tool holding and drill
is essential. Instability puts heavy demands on the rigidity of the entire tool
system. Solid carbide is the stiffest possible tool material and, more than any
other type of drill, is capable of high
speed production of high-quality holes.
However, when machining conditions are
unstable or there are tough demands on
the tool, precautions should be taken or
an alternative considered. To fully make
use of Coromant Delta-C drill capabilities, the machine tool should be rigid, in
good condition and work piece clamping
should be secure.
Vibration, even at a very low frequency,
has a negative effect on tool-life and production security, in that cutting edges
may develop chipping rather than ank
A rotating drill is preferred. However, if

using the drills stationary, such as on a
lathe, the centre of the drill should be
checked to make sure it is aligned with
the centre of the spindle.
In the case of application on special-purpose machines the use of bushings is

not recommend.
wear and thus generate poor nish and

rapid breakdown. Good quality torque
transmision and coolant supply are also
success factors.
Minimum tool run-out is essential in

drilling. One of the main criteria for successful use of solid carbide drills is lowest possible run-out. It is recommended
not to exceed a maximum TIR (Total Indicator Readout) of 20 microns for the drill
and chuck in order to achieve the possible hole tolerance within down to IT8 and
also to achieve the best tool-life.
The nominal runout of the drill, in relation to the shank (measured in a V-block),
should not exceed 0.015 mm for the total length of the drill.
The smallest total runout is provided
by the CoroGrip power chuck with a
Coromant Capto coupling and also with
shrink t holding tools.
TIR
Good tool holding is the basis for good performance in drilling.
E 15
Drilling
Deeper holes with external coolant supply. Usually drilling of a hole can
be performed in one single step. But if deep holes are drilled (more than
3 x D), using external uid supply, one third of the depth can be drilled
continuously followed by a peck drilling cycle. But peck drilling of deep
holes should be problem solver only.
Peck drilling cycle: After drilling one third of the depth, the drill is lifted
sufcient for chip evacuation, cleaning of the hole and then followed by
repeated drilling cycles.
Drilling of non-at surfaces. Drilling of component surfaces inclined to a

maximum of 10 is acceptable but a reduction of feed is essential on
entry to prevent drill sliding, and, when the drill exits, to prevent wear on
circular land or even drill breakage.
C
Inclination smaller than 5: cutting action is intermittent. The feed should
be reduced to 1/3 of normal feed rate until cutting full diameter.
Through-holes: when exiting through-holes the feed must be reduced to

1/3 of normal feed.
F
Inclination of 510: start by performing a centering operation with a
short drill with the same point angle. Alternatively, mill a small at.
Inclination larger than 10: drilling is not possible unless the entry surface is prepared.
E 16
Drilling
Irregular surfaces: when entering, the feed must be reduced to a quarter

normal rate in order to avoid chipping.
Concave surfaces: are possible to drill if the radius is larger than 15

times the drill diameter. The feed should be reduced to a third of normal
rate when entering.
Convex surfaces: are possible to drill if the radius is larger than 4 times
the drill diameter and the hole is perpendicular to the radius. The feed
should be reduced to a half of normal rate when entering.
Cross-hole drilling: can be made if the feed is reduced to a quarter of normal rate when entering and exiting the cross hole.
E
Stack drilling: drilling of more than one workpiece-plate at a time is possible with full feed providing the following measures are taken:
- good clamping of the plates, especially since plates are generally not perfectly at. A common practise is to put industrial paper (thickness approx.
0.51 mm) between the plates. This levels out irregularities and dampens
vibrations.
A further benet for including paper is to keep the chips in place and also
to protect the drill from being damaged by the end disc, formed at the exit
of each plate. If possible, the plates should also be secured and clamped
in the centre before drilling starts.
Enlarging holes: Counterboring operations are not possible with

longer drill life combined with better hole

The cutting uid supply

when drilling with Delta-C is
an important factor for successful performance. Chip

with the ute spiral. This condition can
lead to blue or brown chips, undersized
holes, drill breakage or wear on the guiding chamfers of the drill.
To optimize chip evacuation, at least one
cutting uid jet (two if drill is stationary)
must be directed at a slight angle to the tool axis.
These values are a guide

and may need adjustment
depending on the machining conditions.
Smaller diameter drills need

higher pressure than larger
drills, because the uid volume
going through is less. The cutting uid pressure will be critical
for smooth chip evacuation particularly at high speeds. Internal
cutting uid supply is always preferred.
Cutting uid for Coromant

Delta-C drills in order to
achieve a good machining result a soluble oil with EP additives should be used, but in
certain applications neat oil
could give a better result. If a
soluble oil is used, it should
contain at least 10 - 12%
oil for max. tool life.
When drilling in high alloy, hard or stainless steels, a better result is obtained
with richer soluble (25% oil) or neat cut-
External supply is also acceptable

and can help to avoid built-up edge
formation. In some situations drilling
with mist cutting uid gives improvements at high surface speeds.

Cutting data
Effects of cutting speed:
the main factor in determining tool-life
affects power consumption
Excessive cutting speed can lead to:
rapid ank wear on drill
plastic deformation of cutting edges
poor hole quality
out of tolerance
Cutting speed too low:

built-up edge formation on drill
negatively affect chip evacuation
poor productivity/high cost per hole
Effects of feed rate:

decisive for chip formation
affects power consumption
contributes to mechanical and thermal
stress
High feed rate leads to:

good chip control
less time in cut
less tool wear
higher risk of drill breakage
hole quality can deteriorate
Low feed rate leads to:

longer chips
quality improvement
accelerated tool wear
longer time in cut/higher cost per hole
Importance of chip control:

Poor chip control can lead to unsatisfactory hole-nishes and possible breakage
of the Delta-C drill.
E 19
Drilling
Collet practice:
use sealed collets in combination with internal cutting
uid supply.
carry out collet and tool maintenance frequently.
replace worn and damaged collets with new ones.
B
Good quality chucks are vital for accurate.
C
Maintenance
A collet and tool shank in bad condition

will ruin an otherwise accurate setup.
When using a collet chuck, it must be carefully checked that the collet and the tool
shank - are in good condition, and from
burrs and dirt. Old collets lose their precision very quickly. Conrm that TIR (Total
Indicator Readout) is within 20 microns
(m). An unacceptable run-out can be temporarily reduced by turning the drill or the
collet 90 or 180 to nd lowest TIR.
Between 5-10 times extra life by

regrinding and recoating
A Delta-C drill can be reground. However,
it is important to follow the specic instructions so that the original Delta-C geometry is retained and accordingly the
performance. For reconditioning to retain the original tool geometry, the wear
before regrinding must not exceed the
maximum indicated in the recommen-
dations. Since the coating disappears

when regrinding the ank, resistance to
wear will be reduced and recoating is
therefore recommended.
Whistle Notch and collet chucks can give

rise to a run-out of 40 microns which
must be improved on to achieve an acceptable result.
Consistent and accurate clamping of
the tool shank is always achieved in
a CoroGrip power chuck. If collets are
required their run-out is up to 23 microns only.
Tool-life ensuring a long predicatable
one by:
a rigid set-up will improve tool-life
For best performance in demanding operations, the Delta-C should be clamped

in a rigid, high precision chuck.
Recommended is the hydromechanical
power chucks CoroGrip and Hydrogrip as
they provide the highest torque transmission and the lowest run-out on the market. Other suitable holding tools include
shrink t and hydraulic chucks.

Machining recommendations
Stainless Steel
Aluminium
For these applications grade GC1220 in drill type R840 with

internal coolant supply is the rst choice. Use high feed rate.
First choice is type R850 in grade N20D recommended to run

with high cutting data in Si Aluminium of below 12%. High penetration rate possible with minimal burr formation on both enter
and exit side of hole.
If chip control is difcult to obtain with recommended cutting

data, reduce the the feed towards minimum value.
Use the highest coolant pressure/quantity available. Rich mixture will improve performance.
Steel
First choice in general steel material is type R840 grade 1220.
Drills with both internal and external coolant supply is available.
Also possible to drill in hardened steel up to 60 HRC with this
grade. When drilling hard material material use shortest possible ute length.

Hard-Cut drills are supplied as follows:
a) In 5 piece sets comprising a drill of each size.
Ordering example for 2 sets: 2 sets HC 23456
b) Drills can also be ordered individually with a minimum quantity

of 3 pieces of each size.
Ordering example for 10 pieces of HC2 drills: 10 pieces HC2
Application
Drills are primarily designed for removal of broken taps, hardened
bolts etc.
Can also be used for drilling in other difcult materials e.g. chilled
cast irons, stellite and glass.
E
Use machines with a stable spindle.
FMS (exible machining system), M/C:s, NC and NC-lathes, CNC,
automatics, centre and turret lathes and milling machines.
F
Operating procedure when drilling
1. Securely clamp the workpiece
on the machine table in a vice or
similar rigid work-holding xture.
Centre the drill on the broken tap.
2. Centre drill in the uneven surface

of the fractured tap, with a larger,
more rigid drill than the one
which will eventually be used for
drilling out the tap.
3. Select the correct size of Hard-Cut

drill according to the list in the
table above. The recommended
spindle speeds are 1500-3500
rpm. Drill with a consistent, steady,
manual feed. Stop frequently to
clear chips from the hole.
4. Once the tap has been drilled out

it is a relatively simple matter to
remove the remaining parts of
the tap using a scriber or similar
pointed tool.

Brazed cemented carbide twist-drill

Coromant Delta
R411.5: drill for precision holes (9.5
30.4 mm diameters)
Hole depths: 3.5 5 times the drill

diameter as standard
Workpiece materials: all kinds
Hole tolerance achievable: IT9
Surface nish achievable: Ra 1 micron

The Coromant Delta (brazed) drill provides
a combination of high productivity and
high quality holes for a wide application
area. Sophisticated drill-centre geometry
with strong cutting edges gives long-lasting, reliable performance and stable pre-
cision throughout operations. The rake

angle changes to positive to make centrepoint cutting action more efcient and to
reduce cutting forces conventionally associated with twist-drills. Also chip formation is more advantageous with less tendency for built up edge formation.
Copes easily with drill depths of ve
times the drill diameter and more as Tailor Made versions on weak machines,
components and xtures without major
feed reductions.
Good, basic choice for making accurate
holes in machining centres and special
purpose machines where the high capacity of the drill can be fully utilized.
Coromant Delta drill makes precision holes with high productivity and relatively small cutting forces.
E 34
Short, extra rigid version available for

drilling depths of up to 3.5 times the drill
diameter. Both versions available with
choice of shank versions.
Careful evaluation of the operation and
quality demands should be made for
choice between the brazed carbide twistdrill and modern indexable insert drill.
Drilling
Coromant Delta drill

Set up recommendations
When using a stationary drill, the total run out between the
centre line of the drill and the workpiece must not exceed 0.02
mm to obtain the tolerance quoted.
Max 0.02 mm
C
Drilling with holder and housing for cutting
uid supply
When using a holder with a housing for cutting uid supply a rotating stop to prevent the housing from rotating must be used.
Rotating stop
If the bearing seizes, the housing will rotate and consequently

the supply tubing will be pulled round with the housing which
could cause a serious accident.
If the holder has not been used for a long time check that the
holder rotates in the housing before the machine spindle is
started.
Limitations
Drilling against non at surfaces or drilling workpieces with cross holes is possible
if the feed is reduced to 1/3 1/4 of recommended values.
E 35
Drilling
Cutting uid volume compensator

When using a drill holder with housing for cutting uid supply
together with a Coromant Delta drill, a coolant volume compensator should be used.

machinery and operation.

With the right choice of drill - type, size

and shank, along with tool holder - most
hole making operations can today be
performed in a very efcient way. A wide
range of machine tools are used, including special-purpose machines, although
CNC lathes, turning centres and machining centres dominate with a growing
number of multi-task machines.
Todays range of drills covers a wide variety of applications and when the right
drill has been selected, the tool can be
optimized to suit the operation. Indexable insert drills generally offer clear advantages in most respects and for holes
falling within their capability, these
should be considered as rst choice for
stationary and rotating set-ups.
The indexable insert drill combines the

toughness of a steel drill-shank with the
wear resistance of cemented carbide inserts, without the need for re-grinding.
The life of the drill is long and can be applied to suit different machining demands.
Reliability and accuracy is higher than
ever, coupled with the ability to produce
good machining economics.
The following few application hints will

ensure smooth performance and optimum results.
Operational possibilities with indexable insert drills.
E 43
Drilling
Application hints
Correct alignment of the drill is vital.

There is about as many stationary drills
as rotating since they are often used in
CNC lathe turrets where the workpiece
revolves. In these cases, it is important
to ensure that the centre axis of the drill
is sufciently aligned to the rotary axis of
the workpiece. Faulty centering run-out
- is the most common cause of poor tool
performance and bad results.
The drill should also be set up so that
the face of the peripheral insert is parallel to the machine axis of transverse
movement.
Misalignment also has the effect of radial off-setting, which produces either an
over-sized or under-sized hole.
Rotating drill alignment can be somewhat more demanding but not difcult
if a few guidelines are followed. If there
are problems with oversize or undersize
holes or if the centre insert tends to chip
or break, the drill should be positioned
in different ways until it achieves better
results. For instance, if the drill cuts oversize in one position, it should cut undersize in another.
Turning the drill 180 degrees in its holder
may solve the described problem of hole
Correct drill alignment is critical.
E 44
size. In fact, various types of repositioning often lead to dimensional and alignment deviations being eliminated.
When the workpiece and drill are out of
true, due to inaccuracy in the machine,
such as spindle, chuck, tool holder or

the drill itself, the centre axis of the drill
and axis of rotation may not be sufciently parallel which then gives rise to
inaccurate holes. In order to achieve the
tolerances of the drill capability, it is important that the centering between the
workpiece and the drill is within certain
limits:
Stationary indexable insert drills can
also generate tapered holes, with the
help of the CNC programme. Also chamfering and reliefs can be cut with the drill.
When off-setting the drill, the peripheral
insert should be parallel to the x-axis of
the machine. The peripheral insert is located on the same side as and parallel
to the at for clamping the ISO-shank.
The position of the drill in the turret will
then determine the off-set which will increase the hole diameter.
Drilling
Possibilities with a stationary drill. (Operation C not possible with CoroDrill 880)
Preparing a hole for threading can be

done in one pass along with chamfering
(A).
Larger holes than the diameter of the
drill (B).
Drilling and nishing can be done in one
operation where boring is performed during withdrawal of the drill (C).
Possible radial adjustment depends
upon the diameter of the drill.
Hole tolerances are possible to within
+/-0.05 mm.
By presetting stationary drills, manufacturing tolerances of drill and inserts can be
eliminated and the hole tolerances on a 3 x
D drill be improved to within +/- 0.05 mm.
Radial drill adjustment
Stationary drills can be radially adjusted
from 0.8 mm to 3.5 mm depending on
drill diameter.
Moreover, if the rst value (d1) is larger

than the second (d2), a funnel-shaped
hole is obtained.
In applications with a rotating drill, a funnel-shaped hole is obtained if the runout of the workpiece and drill axes cross
each other.
The relationship between values 1 and
2 determines the shape of the funnelshaped hole. When 1 corresponds with
2, the size of the hole becomes smaller
along half the depth of the hole and then
increases again.
If 1 is larger than 2, the size of the hole
becomes smaller as it proceeds from the
start of the hole. But if 2 is larger than 1,
the size of the hole increases.
Positioning the drill for stability can

be done when the set-up or machine is
weak. This is done by turning the drill
into the most suitable position. With a
normal tool setting, a weak set-up will
lead to the drill becoming misaligned
when the machine axes are forced out
of line. A likely consequnce is that the
centre insert is damaged.
If a somewhat oversize hole is acceptable,
a 90 rotation of the drill is recommended.
If a somewhat undersize hole can be
accepted, a 270 rotation of the drill is
recommended.
It should be noted however, that if the
drill is rotated 180, the core diameter
increases which can damage the drill
during machining.
Off-setting of rotating drills can be done

with adjustable tool holders in a range
from -0.4 mm to +1.4 mm.
Hole diameter variations are common
if the stationary drill is misaligned. Particularly if the centre difference on engagement (1) is smaller than the centre
difference at the end of the hole (2).

Drilling
A
A
Various type of initial penetration in drilling operations. All but A need initial feed reductions.
B
Initial drill penetration ...
C
... is an important factor for successful

drilling. One way of ensuring good hole
quality, is to make sure the penetration
surface of the workpiece is at right angles to the drill centre axis. An indexable
insert drill can, however, cope with initial
penetration of convex, concave, inclined
and irregular surfaces when accompanied with an adjustment of feed rates.
For a convex surface (A) the conditions
are relatively good since the centre of
the drill ideally makes contact with the
workpiece rst, giving normal torque.
With an inclined surface (B) the cutting

edges will be unevenly loaded which may
result in the drill wearing prematurely. An
uneven load means that a exra stable

tool (short length in relation to diameter)
is required in order to cope with vibration
and keep within tolerances. If the angle
of the inclined surface is larger than two
degrees, the feed should be reduced to
a third of that recommended for the drill.
When entering assymetriacally curved

surfaces (D) the drill tends to bend out
from the centre, as when penetrating
against an inclined surface. The feed
should be reduced to a third of the recommended for the initial penetration of
concave surfaces.
With a concave surface (C) the drill engagement varies depending on the radius
of the concave surface and the diameter
of the hole in relation to the height of the
drill point, If the radius of the concave surface is small in relation to the hole diameter, the periphery of the drill will be engaged rst. To reduce the tendency for
the drill to deect, the feed rate should be
reduced to a third of that recommended.
When drilling into irregular surfaces (E)

there is a risk of the inserts chipping and
this may also be the case when exiting
an irregular surface. The feed rate should
therefore be rediced.
When it comes to pre-drilled holes (F) in
order to avoid deection of the drill, the
pre-drilled hole should not be larger than
25% of the drill diameter.
E
Irregular surface need feed reductions and pre-drilled holes should not be larger than 25% of drill diameter.
E 46
Drilling
A
G
Multi-diameter hole drilling should be carried out in the right order.
B
When making a multi-diameter hole (different diameters in the same hole), (G) it
should be noted that drills are generally
not designed for counterboring, which is
the process involved. Conventional twistdrills do not provide sufcient accuracy
and modern, self-centering twist-drills have
too much room for deviation when seeking
the centre, which results in oval holes. If
indexable insert drills with asymmetric
geometry are used, deection of the drill
can take place. These problems can be
remedied in certain cases by reducing the
feed, but the procedure of drilling the largest hole rst, then the smaller one is rec-
ommended. The following hole-diameter is

then drilled from the opposite side.
When drilling crossing holes - a hole that
crosses the axis of another hole - the drill
will exit from a concave surface and then
re enter a concave surface. In the transition there is a risk of problems occurring
with chip evacuation. The safest procedure
is to drill the hole from the opposite direction. If, despite these problems, the drill is
to cross the hole in one operation great
emphasis should be placed on the stability
of the tool. When exiting from the concave
surface the front part of the drill loses the
support of the walls of the hole. The drill

then has to have the stability to provide
support until the drill head has entered the
workpiece on the other side of the hole being crossed. When crossing another hole
in the workpiece, the diameter of which exceeds a quarter of the drill diameter, the
feed rate should be reduced to a quarter
of the recommended feed rate.
Drilling crossing holes should be carried out according to operations 1 and 2. Stability of the drill is essential.
E 47
Drilling
Guarding against ejected discs in

through-holes is important. When drilling
through-holes in rotating workpieces with
an indexable insert drill, a disc will be
produced as the drill breakes through.
This disc is often ejected at high speed
from between the jaws of the chuck and
because the disc is sharp, it can inict
damage or injury. It is therefore recommended that the chuck is enclosed with
an adequate guard.
If the cutting uid contains chip particles
the slit sealings may seize and as a result
the housing will rotate. The supply tubing
will consequently be pulled round with the
housing which can cause a serious accident. A rotation stop must therefor always
be used. If the rotating connector has not
been used for a long time check that the
holder rotates in the housing before the
machine spindle is started.
Optimization for close tolerance/high
surface nish.
A number of factors that affect the quality of holes drilled should be looked at
when hole quality levels are high:
- the machine tool needs to be in a good
condition. Wear and misalignment in the
spindle will affect accuracy. Stability generally is important.
- the condition of the drill should be monitored regularily throughout its tool-life to establish a safe and predictable tool-life. Unsuitable tool wear and any risk of cutting
edge breakdown should be eliminated.
- chipbreaking and chip evacuation must
always be satisfactory.
- choice and setting of drill type and insert geometry affect quality of holes.
- as regards obtaining high straightness
accuracy, especially for deeper holes, the
best result is obtained when both the
workpiece and drill rotate. Alternatively, a
rotating workpiece with a stationary tool
is satisfactory.
E 48
Safety against dangerous discs.
Rotating stop is an important measure.
Drilling
On trepanning set-ups, stationary drills

must not be offset from the workpiece centre line, with reference to the peripheral
insert, by more than -0.15 mm. The peripheral cutting edge (P) should be set to within
+0.1 mm in the horizontal plane from centre-line of spindle (CL). On stationary tool
applications, the drill should be positioned
with the inserts on the horizontal axis. The
peripheral insert must be set 0.20 mm behind the inner cartridge by means of the
axial adjusting screw of the peripheral cartridge.
Core handling usually does not represent
a problem for short hole depths, particularly with stationary tools. Coolant ow and
pressure are normally adequate to safeguard the cutting edges from being chipped
due to the falling core (C).
When heavy and long cores are produced a drilled hole into the core with a
rigid plunger or plug can be made to support the core from falling. The diameter
of the drilled hole should be a little larger
than the diameter of the plug. The unit is
housed in a seal cup which is externally
xtured. If the xture is tted with a core
support, the drill should be mounted with
the cartridges located on the vertical
axis. Supports for the core may be required to ensure its stability on breakout,
and to protect the cutting edges.

Drilling
Cutting uid
The cutting uid supply in drilling is an

important factor for successful performance. Chip evacuation and lubrication
between drill and hole-wall are the primary functions which have to be supported. Cutting uid pressure and volume dene the supply and are shown in
nominal values. These values are not
strict overall and may need adjustment
depending on machining conditions.
Recommended minimum pressures are
indicated in diagrams relative to drill diameter for stationary and rotating drills. It
should also be noted that there is always
a drop in pressure along pipes between
pump and drill and that the minimum
pressure is achieved at the drill point.
A simple minimum pressure indicator is
for a horizontal drill to have a stream of
cutting uid coming out of the drill supply-holes without any downward drop for
at least 30 cm. Smaller drill diameters
need higher pressure. While volume is
less, the cutting uid pressure is critical
for smooth chip evacuation at the high
speeds of small high-performance drills.
While modern CNC machines usually
have adequate cutting uid pressure and
volume, some machines can have pressure raised through compressed air coupled to the system.
Large-diameter drills need larger volumes of cutting uid, while the pressure
requirement becomes less as diameters
increase. The cubic capacity of cutting
uid tank should be between 5-10 times
larger than the volume of uid that the
pump supplies per minute.
The volume capacity can be checked
using a stop-watch and a suitably sized
bucket. A hose can be tted over the drill
and the pump turned on to check the
time taken to pump a certain volume.

Insert wear
Chipping of cutting edges can be caused
by various circumstances:
- off-centre drill
- drill deection caused by excessive
tool overhang, feed rate or drill length
- poor insert stability due to incorrect
seating in drill or damaged seat and
screws
- poor drill stability due to wrong tool
holding, poor spindle or turret condition and alignment
- poor machine and workpiece stability
- cutting uid supply insufcient
- incorrect inserts, grade or geometry
not suitable for demands at centre and
peripheral cutting edges
A
Chipping
B
Flank wear
If chipping occurs on the cutting edges

of a regrindable cemented carbide twistdrill, type Coromant Delta, a change to
indexable insert drill should be considered, especially if instability prevails. The
option of tougher edges on an indexable
insert drill is in some cases a solution to
the problem.
Creater wear
Chipping of cutting edges should never be

allowed to occur, instead it should be taken as an indication that something needs
rectifying in the machining process.
The two most common types of tool wear
are ank wear and crater wear. The
former is normally the natural wear pattern, especially on the periphery insert,
where higher cutting speed prevails. This
wear will eventually lead to the insert
cutting edge not maintaining the tolerance and/or surface nish required for
the operation, when a nished criterion
is required.
For drilling operations, where nish and
accuracy are not within particularly close
limits, ank and crater wear should not
be allowed to go beyond certain values
for production security. Excessive wear
will lead to increasing friction and incorrect cutting geometry, resulting in higher
forces and poor chip information. It will
also lead to a higher risk of cutting edge
fracture.
F

To improve the work environment this patented dampened adaptor has been developed and it should be used with Coromant U indexable insert drills in specic
applications where high pitch noise is a problem.

MAS-BT40 and 50.
Every single adaptor will be individually
optimised for the drill size requested.
E 51
Drilling
Application procedure for new operations

An application routine can be adopted for setting up new
operations or for new workpiece materials to ensure satisfactory operation. Performance, chip-control, -evacuation
and hole-quality can be checked at the start.
Make sure which insert cutting edge leads the drill. Measure at end of drill to see which insert protrudes furthest
axially, to establish the point position of the drill for programming.
Start drilling with the minimum recommended feed rate
for the drill in question, to a depth of just a few mm. Check
chip formation and measure hole size. Also inspect the
drill to make sure no drill-to-hole rubbing is taking place.
Increase feed rate in increments of 0.015 mm to arrive at
optimum machining rates.
Drill a hole to about 10 mm in depth to analyze and then,

if positive complete the hole.
Check the power needed on the machine during drilling
for any surges or ickering in power reading. These may
indicate chip congestion.
Feed rates can be raised but not lowered during an operation. Long, uncontrolled chips may be the result of a
lower feed with subsequent chip congestion or damaged
hole.
On the other hand, excessive feed rates can lead to drill

deection, giving rise to incorrect holes, poor cutting action
and rubbing between drill and hole wall. Avoid the use of the
feed over-ride on the machine while the drill is in cut.
Deection of component, xture or machine can lead to
excessive sudden feed force increases, as the drill breaks
out of a through-hole being drilled.

Benets of using a modern indexable insert drill ...

... in comparison to out-dated conventional indexable drills, carbide
tipped drills, spade drills and high speed steel twist-drills there are several areas in the diameter range 12.7 to 110 mm where benets can
be obtained:

Operational versatility
Rotating and stationary drill in most machine tool types. As a
rotating drill hole machining can be performed through drilling,
boring, helical interpolation and plunge drilling. Angular, concave, convex and irregular surfaces can be entered, and cross
drilling carried out, in most cases necesitating feed reductions
of a quarter of that recommended see general application
hints for indexable insert drilling. Entering of surface angles
up to 89 degrees is possible with the CoroDrill 880. A nishing
return pass, with the drill boring on its way back out of the hole
is not possible with the 880-drill as it is with the Coromant U
drill. The 880-drill can however perform a boring operation on
straight and tapered holes on a forward pass.
A stationary drill can also machine chamfers on holes in one
pass, such as when preparing holes for threading. Boring of
straight and tapered holes can be performed but no nishing
passes on the return stroke.
Improving hole quality...
... can be achieved by pre-setting a non-rotating drill in the machine or a rotating drill in an adjustable holder. In so doing, the
manufacturing tolerances of the tool will be compensated for
and only the insert indexing will inuence the effect of the drill
diameter on the hole dimension.
This means that hole tolerances inside +/- 0.05 mm can be
achieved with 2xDc drills.
If high surface nish is required, a lower feed can be applied
(fn about 0.05 mm/rev) in combination with a high cutting
speed. Surface nish values as small as Ra 0.5 microns can
be achieved in steel under normal conditions.

measures. The drill diameter and length; the tool holder and

Varying the hole diameter with

a rotating drill
The ability to adjust the diameter of an

indexable insert drill is an important feature which extends the working area of
one drill and reduces the need to have
several close diameter versions in stock.
Moreover, the ability to accurately set the
cutting edges of indexable insert drills
means that they take on a wider role
as a high-productivity tool that makes
close-tolerance holes. Tolerances within
+/- 0.05 mm can be held.
An adjustable, specially designed tool
holder for drills simplies precision setting. This is a precision toolholder ensuring high accuracy and stability for drilling. It makes it easier to compensate
for diameter deviations or to off-set the
drill to make additional hole diameters.
Sleeves are used to adapt various ISO
shank sizes for one holder and make it
possible to widen the application area
for indexable insert drills and rotating
tools, such as on machining centres.
Two adjustable toolholder sizes are available, taper 40 and 50 with each series including Coromant Capto adaptor as well
as two different types of solid holders.
Taper 40 size holders will take drill diameters of 12.7 to 25.99 mm while taper
50 size takes 12.7 to 30.99 mm. The adjustment of the drill is always performed
with the peripheral insert edge on a level
with the centre-line of the holder. Setting
is easily done by turning the scale ring
surrounding the holder, marked in increments of 0.05 mm, indicating a diametrical movement of the tool. The scale has
a zero mark as a nominal setting for the
holder only.
The adjustable toolholder will always
set the peripheral insert of the drill on a
level with the centre-line of the holder to
ensure correct radial adjustment. Adjustment/setting is made by turning a scale
ring surrounding the holder marked in
increments of 0.05 mm, indicating the
diametrical movement of the drill. The
scale also has a zero mark, as a nominal
setting for the holder only. The adjustment range for the the drill should not
be exceeded and it may be necessary to
machine with a smaller feed rate.
E 70
Adjustable toolholder for rotating drills.
Setting of the holder can be made in a presetting unit, preferably one equipped with
projector and electronic scanning facility. Initially the true nominal diameter for each drill
has to be measured. The adjustment of the
drill position can then be carried out to the
hole diameter required. The setting range of
the holder (+1.4/-0.4 mm on the diameter)
does not correspond with the setting range
for Coromant U-drills in diameters 16.5, 17
and 25 mm, this value has to be carefully
checked in the ordering information before
setting, and should never be exceeded. A

diameter below the nominal value of the
drill should never be considered. Further
adjustments after the basic setting can normally be performed outside the presetting
unit by refering to the scale only. Four locking screws keep the set value in position.
Before the setting procedure commences
these screws must be slackened off. The
sleeve should be removed and cleaned
when it is not in use for long periods.

Application area
The drill is specially designed for drilling holes in stacked components, with or without air gaps. The max recommended gap
is 1 mm.
The combined features of geometry and position of the inserts
produce a smaller end disc as different from conventional drills
upon break through of the hole. This avoids the danger of inserts crushing.

T-MAX U stack drill R416.01
Note!
Only use WCMX-56 SR as central inserts
WCMX-SR
The drill body is designed in the same way as other T-Max U

drills with the exception of the inserts and insert seats.
Two types of inserts are used, a trigon insert with facets (WCMX
xx xx SR) and a triangular insert (TCMT xx xx xx).
TCMT
The centre insert (WCMX) is positioned so that its centre point

begins cutting rst and is placed somewhat in front of the periphery insert. Hence machining starts at the centre and continues outwards to the periphery.
The small end disc which is formed when drilling a through-hole
can easily be ushed down any of the large chip channels.

Drilling
If problems should occur

When cutting edges wear down prematurely giving poor tool-life, the cause is
usually incorrect cutting data, wrong insert grades or even drill type or poor cutting uid supply. Instability and poor cutting uid supply also lead to poor tool-life.
When cutting edges chip, the alignment
of the drill should be checked for it should
be within the recommended limits. Concentricity should be within +/-0.05 mm.
Lack of rigidity in the set-up, tool or machine often lead to chipping, necessitating a tougher cutting edge. If the insert is
not seated or retained securely, chipping
may occur. Insert seats and screws have
to be well maintained in high performance
drills with frequent changing of insert
screws recommended. Another important
factor is how securely the drill is held in
the machine for stability during machining
tool holding quality is important.
Good tool holding is vital.
If over or under sized holes are produced,

the reason is often that the drill is offcentre. Other reasons can be that the
machine spindle is out of true, the feed
rate is too high or a lack of rigidity in the
set-up. If the hole is not symmetrical, the
source of the problem can often be
traced back to a lack of stability through
poor rigidity in set-up or machine. It is
also possible that the cutting data is
wrong for the material in question.
Unsatisfactory surface nish is usually the
result of vibrations arising from poor rigidity
in the machining set-up. The drill may be
excessively long, held in a poor quality tool
holder or tool position, the cutting data may
be incorrect for the application or the initial
penetration may be into poor surfaces. Cutting uid supply may be insufcient or chip
control not good enough, where chip evacuation is irregular.
The limiting parameters of tool wear in
drilling are generally security or hole quality. Excessive wear and built up edge that
distorts the cutting geometry excessively
are hazards that affect how reliably a drill
will make the required number of holes.
E 84
Off-centre drill usually produces incorrect hole sizes.

Drilling
Basic hints for successful drilling

- check machine alignment, stability, quality of tool holding
and xturing
- check the power, feed force and torque available at

machine spindle
- check coolant pressure and ow rates available
- select the right tool for the operation, apply correctly and
optimize
- optimize as regards combination of high cutting speed and
feed rate for good chip evacuation
- maintain tools regularly - change the insert-clamping screw

on a regular basis
Additional measures for optimizing drilling

D
- check on the suitability of the drill for the operation choose the best option available
- establish a reliable, predetermined tool-life program
- use minimum diameter drill and follow recommended

insert overlapping
- establish correct feed rates for drilling irregular, rounded
and angular surfaces and cross holes
- be aware of the versatility of indexable insert drills for

a variety of operations from efciently drilling a hole to
precision hole machining
