Deep-hole Drilling

December 1, 2009

Deep-hole drilling is very popular in the automotive, die and mold, and aerospace industries. Standard applications normally are performed with a solid carbide drill with a length-to-diameter ratio of 20xD.

However, for high productivity, repeatability, and accuracy, gundrill technology also can be recommended for deep-hole drilling applications.

The new CHAMGUN from Iscar Tools enables the replacement of drilling heads while the driver is still connected to the machine.

This concept enables quick head changes without the need to remove the drill from the spindle while indexing.

The drill features a pocket that can sustain 15 head replacements. The connection between the pocket and tube is by a welding process for high torque resistance. Each drill pocket can carry a variety of drilling head diameters and head geometries and chipbreakers designed for use on various materials.
