The drilling process
Drilling
Drilling Trepanning Counterboring Reaming
Solid drillingis the most common drilling
method, where the hole is drilled in solid
material to a predetermined diameter
and in a single operation.
Trepanningis 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 pe-
riphery. Instead of all the material being
removed in the form of chips, a core is
left round the centre of the hole conse-
quently, this method is for through-hole
applications.
Counterboringis the enlargement of an
exisiting hole with a specifically designed
tool. This machines away a substantial
amount of material at the periphery of
the hole.
Reamingis the finishing of an exisiting
hole. This method involves small work-
ing allowances to achieve high surface
finish and close tolerances.
Drilling ...... covers the methods of making cylin-
drical 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 proc-
esses is a main rotating movement com-
bined with a linear feed. There is a clear
distinction between short hole and deep
hole drilling, the latter being a special-
ist 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 pre-
paratory and subsequent machining has
changed drastically. Modern tools have
led to solid drilling being carried out ina 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 tex-
ture is often unnecessary.
The drilling process can in some re-
spects be compared with turning and mill-
ing but the demands on chipbreaking and
the evacuation of chips is critical in drill-
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 compo-
nents and high material removal rate is
a growing priority along with quality and
reliability.

Cutting dataThe cutting speed, or surface speed (vc)
in for drilling is determined by the periph-
ery speed and can be calculated from
the spindle speed (n) which is expressed
in number of revolutions per minute. Dur-
ing one revolution, the periphery of the
drill will describe a circle with a circum-ference of x Dc, where Dc is the tool
diameter. The cutting speed also var-
ies 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. Recom-
mended cutting speeds are for the high-
est 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 ex-
press the feed capability of the drill.
The penetration rateor feed speed (vf)
in mm/min is the feed of the tool in rela-tion 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 spin-
dle 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 holesHoles are either made or finish machined.
Most workpieces have at least one hole
and depending upon the function of the
hole, it needs machining to various limita-
tions. The main factors that characterize
a hole from a machining point of view are:
- diameter
- depth
- quality
- material
- conditions
- reliability
- productivity

Cutting forces and powerTo produce a hole requires a certain
amount of energy. Cutting forces act on
the drill as it penetrates through the work-
piece removing metal and generating a
certain amount of power.
To start with, the power required in drill-ing varies with the type of workpiece
material when calculating how much is
required.
A specific cutting force for the material in
question also needs to be established.
The specific cutting forcevalue (kc)in N
per square-mm has been worked out and
tested for most materials and is avail-
able in a table relating to the effective
rake angle of the tool and the average
chip thickness. It is defined as the tan-
gential 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 specific cutting
force some three times that of non-fer-
rous 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 diam-
eter, it is wise to check the power.
Torque (Mc) in Nm is another value
which may be critical for some large-di-
ameter drilling operations, especially tre-
panning, as regards the total drilling mo-
ment that the drill is subjected to during
machining. The feed, diameter and mate-
rial 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 perform-
ance point of view. This is the axial force
acting on the drill as it penetrates the
material. It needs to be considered in or-
der to ensure that the spindle power and
strength is sufficient for the drilling op-
eration. Applying an excessive feed force
can affect the hole quality, tool reliabil-
ity and stall the machine. On the other
hand, applying a sufficient feed force is
important for the cutting action and also
from producitivity point of view.
The feed force can be calculated fromthe provided formula and is related to
the diameter of the drill, feed and mate-
rial being drilled. The cutting edge an-
gleof the drill (r), of the cutting edges,also influences the feed force. The point
angle of the drill is ().

Chip control and cutting fluid ...... are important factors in drilling.
Generating suitable chip
forms and sizes and evacu-
ating them are vital to
the succes of any drill-
ing operation. Without
satisfactory perfor-mace 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 efficient evacuation of
chips with cutting fluid.
Most short hole drills have two chip chan-
nels through which the chips are evacu-
ated. With modern machines and drilling
tools, this is be done very effectively by
supplying cutting fluid internally through
the tool coolant holes. The cuting fluid is
ejected at the point of the drill during ma-
chining to lubricate the drill and flush out
chips throught the channels.
Chip information is influenced by the
workpiece material, tool geometry, cut-
ting speed, feed and to some extent the
choice of cutting fluid. Generally, increasedfeed and/or reduced cutting speed pro-
duces shorter chips. The chip length and
form can be said to be acceptable if the
chips can be flushed out reliably.
The rake angle (E) of the drill variesalong the cutting edge and decreas-
es from the periphery towards
the centre of the drill, such
as with solid and brazed
cemented carbide twist-
drills. Since the cutting
speed also drops fromthe periphery towards
the centre, the cutting
edge will work ineffec-
tively at the point of
the drill. As the point of
the drill presses and
scrapes the material rather
than cuts it, plastic deforma-
tion 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 deflect and, as a re-
sult, oval holes may be produced.
Drilling with modern cemented carbide
drills enables high material removal
rates to be achieved and large volumes
of chips to be flushed out with cutting
fluid, supplied internally under high pres-
sure. The required pressure (Mpa) and
flow(l/min) are primarily dependent on
the hole diameter but are also affectedby the machining conditions and the
workpiece material.
When cutting fluid is supplied internally,
rotating drills require higher cutting fluid
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 fluid supply, a
volume compensatorcan be used. But a
certain drop in pressure in the conduc-
tive system must also be taken into ac-
count for non-rotating drills and with ex-
ternal cutting fluid supply.
The pressure in the system should be
checked as well as the flow, so that thelatter is at least at the level which is rec-
ommended for the drill and that there is a
good margin at the tank.The cutting fluid
flow should be measured at the cutting
edge of the drill as this is where the rec-
ommended values apply. Minimum flow
and pressure values are recommended
relative to drill type and diameter.

Drill selection procedure
Define your hole diameter, depthand quality requirementsConsider also production economy and
machining reliability aspects.
Select the type of drillChoose a drill for roughing and/or finishing
holes. Check that the drill is suitable for the
workpiece material, hole quality demands and
that it provides the best hole economy.
Choose the drill grade andgeometryIf an indexable insert drill has been selected,
inserts have to be selected seperately. Find
the right inserts for the drill diameter and
choose recommended geometry and grades
for the workpiece material. For solid or brazed
cemented carbide drills, select suitable grade.
Select the shank styleMany drills are available with different mount-
ing options. Find the style compatible with the
machine.

Selecting drills
Modern cemented carbide drilling tools
are very efficient and have come a long
way from out-dated, high speed twist-
drills - which are still in use in many ma-
chine shops. As a consequence, the cost
per machined hole has fallen dramati-cally. 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 re-
fined form. The drill-point geometries
used today have vastly improved the cut-
ting action of the conventional chisel-
edge and tool materials have lifted per-
formance and extended tool-life.
Solid carbide and brazed twist-drills drill
operate at lower cutting speeds/higher
feeds in relation to machine and opera-
tion while indexable insert drills use high
cutting speeds/low feeds.
The modern cemented carbide twist-
drillsare application orienated towards
above all two directions:
- precision holes, giving closer toleranc-
es and surface finishes than indexable
insert drills
- smaller diameter holes, where the in-
dexable inserts drills are not a practical
solution.
The solid cemented carbide twist-drill
range of Coromant Delta-C covers diam-
eters from 1.5 to 20 mm.
The brazed cemented carbide twist-drill
Coromant Delta covers diameters from
9.5 to 30.4 mm.
Hole tolerances for these drills can be
within IT8 and finishes within Ra 1 mi-
cron depending upon drill length, tool
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.
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
drillprovides high machining productiv-
ity, 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 first genera-
tions of these drills but they are also ca-
pable of finishing 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.
The indexable insert drills CoroDrill 880.
Coromant U-drill and T-Max U(includ-
ing the trepanning tool version)
cover the diameter range 12 to
110 mm as standard.
The achievable hole toleranc-
es with the new CoroDrill 880
drill have been almost halved to
+ 0.25 mm and with a moderate
feed, the surface finish 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.

One of the first 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 first factor.
Indexable insert drills cannot be used forsmall 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 cement-
ed 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 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 tol-
erances with respect to both size and
surface finish, low cutting forces and
high cutting data in the ISO K area.
Medium-sized hole diameters
The diameter range designated as medi-
um sized hole diameters is the range in
which indexable insert drills and brazed
carbide drills (Coromant Delta) overlap.
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 indexableinsert drills now having the capability of
a finishing tool.
When the initial penetration surface is
not flat, or the hole is predrilled or cross
drilling has to be undertaken, then index-
able insert drills are often the only op-
tion. 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.
Drill diameter points to type of drill
Large-diameter holes
Only indexable insert drills are available
for what is designated here as large di-
ameter holes and the choice of tool is
primarily concerned with choosing the in-
sert geometry and grade. When the ma-chine power is limited, trepanning drills
are used instead of solid drills.
The combination of insert geometry/
grade is established between the periph-
eral insert and central insert to provide
optimal performance.
Very large diameter indexable insert drills
with several cartridges have peripheral
inserts, internal peripheral inserts, cen-
tre inserts and internal centre inserts.
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 stabilitythroughout the entire
system of spindle, tool holding and drill
is essential. Instability puts heavy de-
mands on the rigidity of the entire tool
system. Solid carbide is the stiffest pos-
sible 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 capabili-
ties, 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 pro-
duction security, in that cutting edges
may develop chipping rather than flank
wear and thus generate poor finish and
rapid breakdown. Good quality torque
transmision and coolant supply are also
success factors.
TIR
Good tool holding is the basis for good performance in drilling.
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-pur-
pose machines the use of bushings is
not recommend.
Minimum tool run-out is essential in
drilling.One of the main criteria for suc-
cessful use of solid carbide drills is low-
est possible run-out. It is recommended
not to exceed a maximum TIR (Total Indi-
cator Readout) of 20 microns for the drilland chuck in order to achieve the possi-
ble hole tolerance within down to IT8 and
also to achieve the best tool-life.
The nominal runout of the drill, in rela-
tion to the shank (measured in a V-block),
should not exceed 0.015 mm for the to-
tal length of the drill.
The smallest total runout is provided
by the CoroGrip power chuck with a
Coromant Capto coupling and also with
shrink fit holding tools.

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 fluid 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
sufficient for chip evacuation, cleaning of the hole and then followed byrepeated drilling cycles.
Drilling of non-flat 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.
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.
Inclination of 510:start by performing a centering operation with a
short drill with the same point angle. Alternatively, mill a small flat.
Inclination larger than 10:drilling is not possible unless the entry sur-
face is prepared.

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 nor-
mal rate when entering and exiting the cross hole.
Stack drilling: drilling of more than one workpiece-plate at a time is possi-
ble with full feed providing the following measures are taken:
- good clamping of the plates, especially since plates are generally not per-
fectly flat. 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 benefit 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
Coromant Delta-C drills.

Cutting fluid supplyThe cutting fluid supply
when drilling with Delta-C is
an important factor for suc-
cessful performance. Chip
evacuation and lubrication
between drill and hole wall
are primary functions whichhave to be supported.
Nominal and minimum val-
ues for cutting fluid pres-
sure and volume are shown
in diagrams.
These values are a guide
and may need adjustment
depending on the machin-
ing conditions.
Cutting fluid for Coromant
Delta-C drills in order to
achieve a good machining re-
sult a soluble oil with EP ad-
ditives 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 stain-
less steels, a better result is obtained
with richer soluble (25% oil) or neat cut-
ting oils. A richer mixture can result in
longer drill life combined with better hole
tolerances and surface finish.
With an external cutting fluidsupply, im-
proper chip evacuation can occur if the
cutting fluid nozzle is not properly direct-
ed onto the periphery of the tool in linewith the flute spiral. This condition can
lead to blue or brown chips, undersized
holes, drill breakage or wear on the guid-
ing chamfers of the drill.
To optimize chip evacuation, at least one
cutting fluid jet (two if drill is stationary)
must be directed at a slight an-
gle to the tool axis.
Smaller diameter drills need
higher pressure than larger
drills, because the fluid volume
going through is less. The cut-
ting fluid pressure will be critical
for smooth chip evacuation par-
ticularly at high speeds. Internal
cutting fluid supply is always pre-
ferred.
External supply is also acceptable
and can help to avoid built-up edge
formation. In some situations drilling
with mist cutting fluid gives improve-
ments at high surface speeds.
Delta-C drills are available in versions
designed for internal as well as external
cutting fluid supply.

Cutting dataEffects of cutting speed:
the main factor in determining tool-life
affects power consumption
Excessive cutting speed can lead to:
rapid flank 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 unsatisfac-
tory hole-finishes and possible breakage
of the Delta-C drill.

MaintenanceA collet and tool shank in bad condition
will ruin an otherwise accurate setup.
When using a collet chuck, it must be care-
fully checked that the collet and the tool
shank - are in good condition, and from
burrs and dirt. Old collets lose their pre-
cision very quickly. Confirm that TIR (Total
Indicator Readout) is within 20 microns
(m). An unacceptable run-out can be tem-porarily reduced by turning the drill or the
collet 90 or 180 to find lowest TIR.
Whistle Notch and collet chucks can give
rise to a run-out of 40 microns which
must be improved on to achieve an ac-
ceptable 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 mi-
crons only.
Tool-life ensuring a long predicatable
one by:
a rigid set-up will improve tool-life
For best performance in demanding op-
erations, 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 transmis-
sion and the lowest run-out on the mar-ket. Other suitable holding tools include
shrink fit and hydraulic chucks.
Between 5-10 times extra life by
regrinding and recoating
A Delta-C drill can be reground. However,
it is important to follow the specific in-
structions so that the original Delta-C ge-
ometry is retained and accordingly the
performance. For reconditioning to re-
tain the original tool geometry, the wearbefore regrinding must not exceed the
maximum indicated in the recommen-
dations. Since the coating disappears
when regrinding the flank, resistance to
wear will be reduced and recoating is
therefore recommended.
Coromant Delta-C drills can be reground according to specific instructions.
Good quality chucks are vital for accurate.
Collet practice:
use sealed collets in combination with internal cutting
fluid supply.
carry out collet and tool maintenance frequently.
replace worn and damaged collets with new ones.

Machining recommendations
Stainless SteelFor these applications grade GC1220 in drill type R840 with
internal coolant supply is the first choice. Use high feed rate.
If chip control is difficult to obtain with recommended cutting
data, reduce the the feed towards minimum value.
Use the highest coolant pressure/quantity available. Rich mix-
ture will improve performance.
SteelFirst 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 pos-
sible flute length.
Note that only net power ratings are given. Allowance must be
made for the efficiency of the machine and the cutting edge
wear.
The graphs show nominal values which should not be regarded
as strict recommendations. The values may need adjusting de-

Ordering code Dimensions, mm To remove taps
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 difficult materials e.g. chilled
cast irons, stellite and glass.
Use machines with a stable spindle.
FMS (flexible machining system), M/C:s, NC and NC-lathes, CNC,
automatics, centre and turret lathes and milling machines.
Geometry
The extra negative geometry produces a high working tempera-
ture anneales the tap.
Regrindable geometry.
No cutting fluid is required drill dry.
Operating procedure when drilling
1. Securely clamp the workpiece
on the machine table in a vice orsimilar rigid work-holding fixture.
Centre the drill on the broken 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.
2. Centre drill in the unevensurface
of the fractured tap, with a larger,more rigid drill than the one
which will eventually be used for
drilling out the tap.
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
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 finish 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 geometrywith strong cutting edges gives long-last-
ing, reliable performance and stable pre-
cision throughout operations. The rake
angle changes to positive to make centre-
point cutting action more efficient and to
reduce cutting forces conventionally asso-
ciated with twist-drills. Also chip forma-
tion is more advantageous with less ten-
dency for built up edge formation.
Copes easily with drill depths of five
times the drill diameter and more as Tai-
lor Made versions on weak machines,
components and fixtures without major
feed reductions.
Good, basic choice for making accurate
holes in machining centres and specialpurpose machines where the high capac-
ity of the drill can be fully utilized.
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 twist-
drill and modern indexable insert drill.
Coromant Delta drill makes precision holes with high productivity and relatively small cutting forces.

Set up recommendationsWhen 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.
Coromant Delta drill
Drilling with holder and housing for cuttingfluid supplyWhen using a holder with a housing for cutting fluid supply a ro-
tating stop to prevent the housing from rotating must be used.
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 theholder rotates in the housing before the machine spindle is
started.
Rotating stop
Limitations
Drilling against non flat surfaces or drilling workpieces with cross holes is possible
if the feed is reduced to 1/3 1/4 of recommended values.

When using a drill holder with housing for cutting fluid supply
together with a Coromant Delta drill, a coolant volume compen-

Chipping of the cutting edge should not
exceed maximum wear recommenda-
tions in order to allow for regrinding and
to obtain maximum tool life.

Indexable insert drills
CoroDrill 880 drill, Coromant U drills and T-Max U drills and trepanning tool
CoroDrill 880: first choice for short
hole drilling (14 29 mm diameters)
R416.2: tool for short hole drilling
( 12.7 58 mm diameters)
R416.21: step and chamfer combina-
tion drill (17.5 41 mm diameters)
L416.1: left-hand drill (17.5 58 mm
diameters)
R416.01: stack drill (27 59 mm
diameters)
R416.9: large-diameter drill (60 80
mm diameters)
R416.7: trepanning tools (60 110
mm diameters)
Hole depths: up to 4 times the drill dia-
meter (5 for Tailor made drills)
Workpiece materials: all kinds
Hole tolerances: generally 0.1/+ 0.3
mm but CoroDrill 880 provides a
0/+ 0.25 mm tolerance, when used infinishing operation tolerances within
+/- 0.05 mm are kept and Wiper
technology gives good surface finsih.
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 efficient way. A wide
range of machine tools are used, includ-
ing special-purpose machines, although
CNC lathes, turning centres and machin-
ing centres dominate with a growing
number of multi-task machines.
Todays range of drills covers a wide vari-
ety of applications and when the right
drill has been selected, the tool can be
optimized to suit the operation. Indexa-
ble insert drills generally offer clear ad-
vantages in most respects and for holes
falling within their capability, these
should be considered as first choice forstationary and rotating set-ups.
With their increased capability to pro-
duce closer tolerances and better sur-
face finish, the indexable insert drill is a
very versatile tool as regards materials,
machinery and operation.
The indexable insert drill combines the
toughness of a steel drill-shank with the
wear resistance of cemented carbide in-
serts, without the need for re-grinding.
The life of the drill is long and can be ap-
plied 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 opti-
mum results.

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 drillis sufficiently 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 par-
allel to the machine axis of transverse
movement.
Misalignment also has the effect of ra-
dial off-setting, which produces either anover-sized or under-sized hole.
Rotating drill alignment can be some-
what more demanding but not difficult
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 over-
size in one position, it should cut under-
size in another.
Turning the drill 180 degrees in its holder
may solve the described problem of hole
such as spindle, chuck, tool holder or
the drill itself, the centre axis of the drill
and axis of rotation may not be suffi-ciently parallel which then gives rise to
inaccurate holes. In order to achieve the
tolerances of the drill capability, it is im-
portant 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 cham-
fering 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 lo-
cated on the same side as and parallel
to the flat for clamping the ISO-shank.
The position of the drill in the turret will
then determine the off-set which will in-
crease the hole diameter.
Correct drill alignment is critical.
size. In fact, various types of reposition-
ing often lead to dimensional and align-
ment deviations being eliminated.
When the workpiece and drill are out of
true, due to inaccuracy in the machine,
