Deep Hole Drilling
Deep hole drilling can employ various machine set-ups: rotating work piece, rotating tool, OR both tool and work-piece rotating in the opposite directions. However the most common and best practice for deep hole drilling is “rotating tool” with drills designed for such application. Successful deep hole drilling is about taking advantage of special deep hole drill designs and by optimizing the performance & controlling the chip. However, whichever set-up is employed, the basic principles of hole drilling still applies. The correct choice of cutting speeds and feeds are still crucial. Satisfactory chip breaking, and removing the chips from the cutting edges without damaging tool or work piece, is essential.
