Fig.4-10: Removing
Shift the lever to the left to its initial position. Otherwise the tool and/or the drill chuck cannot be pushed in.
4.6Liquid cooling system
The friction generated during rotation can cause the edge of the tool to become very hot.
Cool the tool during drillings. This will give better results and make the tool last longer.
ATTENTION!
Failure of the pump in the event of a dry run.
The pump is lubricated by the cooling agent. Do not start up the pump without cooling
agent.
Handling
INFORMATION
Use a water-soluble and non-pollutant oil as a cooling agent. This can be acquired from authorised distributors.
Re-use cooling agents and lubricants.
Respect the environment when disposing of any lubricants and cooling agents.
Follow the manufacturer’s disposal instructions.
4.7Working with the machine
4.7.1Preparation
WARNING!
During drilling work you must secure the piece to be drilled firmly, in order to ensure that
it is not moved by the bit. Examples of a suitable securing tool include a part-holder bolt
or securing clamps.
Put a wooden or plastic board beneath the piece so that you do not drill through to the work
table or the part-holder bolt.
If necessary, adjust the required drilling depth using the depth stop to obtain a constant result.
Make sure to use a dust collection unit when working with wood, as sawdust can be a health
hazard.
Use a suitable protective mask for any work that generates dust.
First, select the speed of the bit. This will depend on the diameter of the bit being used and
the material.
Drilling
WARNING!
Danger of clothing and/or long hair getting caught.
•Make sure to wear a well-fitting work during drilling work.
Do not place your hand between the drill head and the spindle. Danger of blows from the
spindle levers. There is a return spring to return the spindle to its initial position. Do not
release the spindle lever when repositioning the drilling spindle.
Spindle lever
When using the manual spindle feed, press it unformly, but not too hard.
4.7.2Bit
Thin bits break easily. In the case of deep drilling, extract the bit from time to time to remove
chips from the drill.
•Add cooling lubricant to reduce friction and prolong the service life of the bit.
•The above figures are standard values. In some cases it may prove to be good if you increase or decrease the value.
•When drilling, do not renounce to use coolant or lubricant.
•For rust-free materials (e.g. VA- or NIR steel sheets) do not work with a center punch as the
material might harden and the drills will become quickly blunt.
•The workpieces need to be clamped low inflexibly and stable (vice, screw clamp).
5.3Examples to calculatory determine the required speed for your drilling
machine
The necessary speed is depending on the diameter of the drill bit, on the material which is being
machined as well as on the cutting material of the drill bit.
Material which needs to be drilled: St37
Cutting material (drill bit): HSS spiral bit
Set point of the cutting speed [
v
] according to the table: 40 meters per minute
c
Diameter [d] of your drill bit: 30 mm = 0.03 m [meters]
Selected infeed [f] according to the table: about 0.35 mm/rev
Speed
Set a speed on your drilling machine which is less than the determined speed.
INFORMATION
In order to facilitate the production of larger drill holes they need to be pre-drilled. This way, you
reduce the cutting forces and improve the guiding of the drill bit.
The pre-drilling diameter is depending on the length of the
chisel edge. The chisel edge does not cut, but it squeezes
the material. The chisel edge is positioned at an angle of 55°
to the major cutting edge.
As a general rule of thumb it applies: The pre-drilling
diameter is depending on the length of the chisel edge.
Recommended working steps for a drilling diameter of 30 mm
2014
US
Example:
1st working step: Pre-drilling with Ø 5 mm (0.2").
2nd working step: Pre-drilling with Ø 15 mm (0.6").
3rd working step: Drilling with Ø 30 mm (1.2").
