6. Chipbreaker Profile & Flute Geometry
The SGS58879 features an advanced two-flute design with a modified parabolic flute profile optimized for 5xD drilling depth. The flute geometry is specifically engineered to:
- Parabolic Flute Form: Provides increased chip pocket volume, enabling efficient chip evacuation in deep-hole applications without packing or clogging.
- Variable Helix Design: The 36° helix angle minimizes harmonic vibration and reduces chatter during entry and exit, resulting in improved hole straightness and surface quality.
- Polished Flute Surface: A mirror-finish flute surface (Ra ≤ 0.2 μm) reduces friction between the chip and flute wall, lowering heat generation and preventing chip welding.
- Thinned Web Construction: The web is precision-ground to 0.18 × D, reducing thrust forces by up to 15% compared to standard web designs while maintaining structural integrity.
- Edge Preparation: A micro-honed edge radius of 8-12 μm provides the ideal balance between edge sharpness and chipping resistance, particularly beneficial in interrupted cuts and cross-hole drilling.

8. Application Map by Operation
| Operation Type | Suitability | Notes & Recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Through-Hole Drilling | ✔ Ideal | Optimized point geometry ensures clean breakthrough with minimal burr formation. Reduce feed by 30% at exit. |
| Blind-Hole Drilling | ✔ Ideal | Internal coolant ensures effective chip evacuation from hole bottom. Leave 0.5-1 mm depth margin. |
| Peck Drilling (Deep Hole) | ✔ Recommended | For holes > 5xD, use peck cycle with 1-1.5xD peck depth. Full retract recommended for > 5xD. |
| Stack Drilling | ✔ Suitable | Excellent self-centering reduces walk at entry. Clamp plates securely to prevent separation. |
| Cross-Hole Intersection | ● Caution | Reduce feed by 40-50% when intersecting. Micro-honed edge provides additional chipping resistance. |
| Inclined Entry/Exit | ● Caution | For angles > 10°, use reduced feed (60%) for first 1xD depth. Consider pilot hole for > 15°. |
| Counterboring | ✘ Not Recommended | Not designed for counterboring operations. Use dedicated counterbore tools for best results. |
9. Recommended Cutting Conditions
The following parameters are starting recommendations for stable machining conditions. Adjust based on machine rigidity, workpiece setup, and coolant delivery efficiency.
| Material | Vc (m/min) | Vc (sfm) | fn (mm/rev) | fn (ipr) | RPM Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel | 80-100 | 260-330 | 0.10-0.18 | 0.0039-0.0071 | 8,000-14,000 |
| Alloy Steel | 70-90 | 230-295 | 0.09-0.20 | 0.0035-0.0078 | 8,000-14,000 |
| Stainless Steel | 60-80 | 195-260 | 0.08-0.18 | 0.0031-0.0071 | 8,000-14,000 |
| Cast Iron | 60-80 | 195-260 | 0.10-0.22 | 0.0039-0.0085 | 8,000-14,000 |
| Aluminum | 100-150 | 330-490 | 0.12-0.27 | 0.0047-0.0106 | 8,000-14,000 |
Note: Values are starting recommendations. For optimal performance, conduct test cuts and adjust parameters based on machine condition, setup rigidity, and coolant pressure (recommended: 70-100 bar for through-tool coolant).
10. Operating Guidelines
- Coolant Requirements: Use water-soluble coolant at 8-12% concentration. For through-tool coolant, maintain minimum pressure of 70 bar (1,000 psi) for effective chip evacuation in 5xD applications.
- Toolholder Selection: Use hydraulic or precision collet chucks with TIR ≤ 0.003 mm. Avoid standard drill chucks for high-speed applications due to potential runout issues.
- Peck Cycle Parameters: For deep-hole drilling (> 5xD), implement a peck cycle with 1.0-1.5xD peck depth. Full retract is mandatory for holes exceeding 5xD to clear chips and allow coolant penetration.
- Entry Angle Compensation: When drilling on inclined surfaces > 5°, reduce feed rate by 40% for the first 1xD depth to prevent drill walk and ensure stable entry.
- Speed & Feed Adjustment: Start at the lower end of the recommended range for new applications. Increase Vc by 10% increments only after confirming stable cutting and acceptable tool life.
- Chip Monitoring: Ideal chips should be short, curled, and silver/blue in color. Long stringy chips indicate insufficient feed; black powdery chips indicate excessive heat—reduce speed.
- Tool Life Indicators: Monitor for increased cutting force, audible squealing, or deteriorating hole surface finish. Re-sharpen or replace when flank wear exceeds 0.15 mm or when burr formation becomes excessive.
- Storage & Handling: Store in original packaging away from humidity and temperature extremes. Handle with protective gloves to prevent corrosion from skin oils. Never allow drills to contact each other during storage.
11. Toolholder Compatibility
| Holder Type | Compatibility | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Hydraulic Chuck | ✔ Excellent | Best overall choice. Provides superior damping, minimal runout (≤ 0.003 mm), and excellent gripping force for high-speed drilling. |
| Precision Collet (ER16/ER20) | ✔ Very Good | Use AA-class collets with ≤ 0.005 mm runout. Ensure collet is clean and properly torqued. Suitable for most CNC applications. |
| Milling Chuck | ✔ Good | Provides high clamping force. Verify runout before use. Suitable for heavy-duty drilling in tough materials. |
| Shrink Fit Holder | ✔ Very Good | Excellent for high-speed applications. Provides uniform clamping and minimal imbalance. Requires induction heating equipment. |
| Standard Drill Chuck | ✘ Not Recommended | Excessive runout and poor gripping at high RPM. Avoid for precision CNC applications. Manual drilling only at low speeds. |
