■ Cutting Condition Selection ● Control cutting force for low-rigidity machines

The following table shows the relation between edge treatment width and cutting force. If the cutting force is too great and causes issues, take measures such as reducing the feed rate or reducing the cutting edge treatment of the drill.

● High speed machining recommendation

If the machine has enough power and sufficient rigidity, reasonable tool life can be ensured even when adopting higher efficiency machining; however, sufficient coolant must be supplied.

■ Explanation of Margins (Difference between single and double margins) ● Single Margin (2 guides: ○ part)

● Double Margin (4 guides: ○ part)

● 4-point guiding reduces hole bending and undulation for improved stability and accuracy during deep hole drilling.

● Shape used on most drills
