Step 1: Approach- 50 RPM
- 12 IPM (300 mm/min)
Details:
- Feed the longer drill within 1/16" (1.5mm) short of the workpiece at a maximum of 50 RPM and 12 IPM (300 mm/min) feed rate.
Coolant: OFF
Step 2: Feed-In
- Speed at 75% of recommended start
- Feed at 50% of recommended start
Details:
- Drill 3/4" deep at 75% recommended speed and 50% recommended feed to establish the hole.
Coolant: ON
Step 3: Deep Hole Drilling - Blind
- 100% RPM
- 100% IPR (mm/rev)
Details:
- Drill to full depth at recommended speed and feed for longer drills (according to Allied Machine speed and feed charts).
- No peck cycle recommended.
Coolant: ON
Step 4: Deep Hole Drilling at Breakout
- 50% RPM
- 100% IPR (mm/rev)
Details:
For through holes only:
- Reduce speed by 50% prior to breakout.
- Do not break out more than 1/8" (3mm) past the full diameter of the drill.
