CoroDrill® 460

Versatile high-performance solid carbide drill that can be used across a wide range of materials. With one drill for all materials, stock holding can be reduced and greater machine flexibility is offered leading to reduced set-up time.

The hole

The three most basic parameters for the hole are:

  • Hole diameter
  • Hole depth
  • Hole quality

The hole type and required precision affect tool choice. Drilling can be affected by irregular or angled entry/exit surfaces and by cross holes.

The component

When analyzing the hole, look at the workpiece material, component shape and quantity

  • Does the material have good chip-breaking qualities? Long or short chipping material?
  • Machinability?
  • Material hardness?
  • Alloy elements?

The machine

The machine influences:

  • The type of operation
  • Which type of tool holders and/or collets to use

Always consider:

  • Machine stability
  • Spindle speed
  • Coolant volume and pressure
  • Workpiece clamping
  • Choice of horizontal or vertical spindle

Tool holding

Productivity is not only influenced by grade and geometry, but also by the ability to clamp the tool securely and precisely. For best stability and hole quality, always use Coromant Capto® or CoroChuck™ 930 with the shortest possible drill and overhang.

Tool run-out

Minimum tool run-out is essential for successful drilling. The run-out should not exceed 0.02 mm in order to achieve:

  • Close hole tolerance and straightness
  • Good surface finish
  • Long and consistent tool life

Coolant

Coolant supply influences:

  • Chip evacuation
  • Hole quality
  • Tool life

Internal coolant is necessary for hole depths larger than 3 x DC and for avoiding chip jamming.
External coolant can be used for shallow hole depths and good chip formation.

Chip control

Chip formation and evacuation is a critical issue. Chip jamming is dependent on:

  • Workpiece material
  • Choice of drill geometry
  • Coolant pressure/volume
  • Cutting data

It affects hole quality, drill life/reliability and drill breakages.

Cutting data

Cutting speed is the main factor affecting tool life.High speed rates:

  • High temperatures
  • Increased tool wear
  • Poor hole quality
  • Bad hole tolerance

Lower speed rates:

  • Built-up edges
  • Bad chip evacuation
  • Longer time in cut

Recommendations

  • It is recommended to use hydraulic precision chucks
  • It is recommended to use internal coolant – minimum recommended pressure 10 bar (145 psi)

CoroChuck™ 930 – For highest clamping force and precision

CoroChuck™ 930 pencil type – For improved accessibility
