General purpose chipbreaker usable for almost all ap-

plications. Features low cutting forces and allows

stable drilling.

Three types of chipbreakers are available for various applications

DJDJChipbreaker

Bumps and grooves formed onthe rake face reduce the con-tact area with chips resulting inreduction of cutting forces andlonger tool life.

Low cutting forcesand long tool life

Deeply formed chip groove per-forms exceptionally free cutting ac-tion and effective chipbreaking.

Relatively shallow chip groove pre-vents chips from packing.

Chipbreaker forcentral edge

Performs excellent chip control for gummy materi-als such as stainless steels and low carbon steels.DSDS

Exceptionally free cutting ac-tion improves chip control.

Sharp cutting edges

Strengthened corner geometry mini-mizes insert breakage even in drillingstainless steels

Strengthened corner

Can effectively form gummy materialchips into short sections.

Entirely new rakeface design

In comparison with conventional inserts, this chipbreaker

allows higher feeds and produces superior surface finish.DWDW

Increased land width plus a twostep relief angle strengthens thecorner section .

Extraordinarilystrengthened corner

Can improve surface roughnessat normal feeds and minimizessurface degradation at highfeeds.

Wiper design

Can forcibly curl thickchips produced in highfeeds and causes them tobreak into short sections.Also it allows for large vol-ume chip removal.

General purpose grade By combining ultra fine grain cemented carbide with “Flash-coat”, this grade provides both wear resistance and impact resistance. Can be used for a wide range of applications.

High-feed grade By combining ultra fine grain cemented carbide with “Premium-coat”, the impact resistance is improved without sacrificing wear resistance. Combined with DW-chipbreaker, this grade can be used for high-feedmachining of steels.

For cast irons By combining specially designed hard carbide substrate with newly developed multilayer compound coatings, this grade provides excellent wear resistance in machining cast irons.

For stainless steels By combining highly reliable carbide substrate with “Flash-coat”, this grade provides superior impact resistance and wear resistancein high-speed machining. Best suitable for drilling stainless steels.

Select the appropriate insert by following this guide.

● For high-feed machining, apply a feedrate that is approximately 1.5 times thestandard feed conditions.

● High-speed machining means cuttingspeeds over 150 m/min.

● When using DW insert for troubleshoot-ing, use it within the range of standardcutting conditions.

DJ DS DW

Points to consider

• Selecting the cutting conditions is an important point for proper machining.Therefore, when selecting cutting conditions, place the priority on chip con-trol.

• The cutting condition range which allows proper chip control depends on thetypes of chipbreaker and the material to be machined.

• The chart at right shows the basic flow to select cutting conditions.

● When the hardness of the work

material is higher than 40 HRC,

the feed should be reduced to

within 1/2 of the values shown in

the table.

● When machining difficult-to-cut

materials such as heat-resisting

alloys which develop heat exces-

sively during machining, reduce

the cutting speed to within 1/2 of

the values for carbon steels.

Initially use this guide to select andadjust cutting conditions to

achieve appropriate chip control.

Check the cutting condition rangewhich is appropriate to the spindlepower and rigidity of the machine

to be used.

Check the cutting condition rangein which abnormal tool failure such

as chipping and breakage doesnot occur.

Select the cutting condi-tions appropriate to thescheduled tool life and

machining time.

• A conical coil shape whose apex point coincides with the rotating cen-ter of the drill is the basic shape. The chips are broken into small sec-tions with increases in feed. But, excessively high feed causes the chipto increase in thickness and develops vibration which disturbs stablemachining.

• In TDX drills, marked chips shown below are the most preferableshapes. This type of chip is broken into adequate length by centrifugalforces when used in tool-rotating condition. On the other hand, whenused in work-rotating condition such as on a lathe, a continuously longchip is often produced without entangling.

TDX DS Competitor “C”

Comparison of surface finish influ enced by variations of chip shapes (ø22, SUS316L, NC lathe,Vc=100m/min, f=0.08mm/rev)

Surface finish is affected by chip shapesproduced with the central insert.

• Chip problems such as entangling are mainly caused by chips pro-duced with the peripheral insert. These problems are dependent onthe types of work material and the cutting conditions.

• As shown below, when the feed is extremely low, the chips jumpover the chipbreaker groove and the continuously long chips maywrap around the drill body.

• When the feed is too high, the chips increase the thickness and cannot be curled.

• Therefore, it is important to select proper cutting conditions to suitthe machining so that well controlled chips will be formed.

Chip shape produced with peripheral insert

Relation between feeds and chip control

• Just after start of cutting, a continuously long,coil-shaped chip is formed, but when the drillingdepth reaches to 0.5 D to 1 D, the chip tends toshorten the length.

• The chip shape in the early stage of cut , as boththe cutting speed and feed are increased, tendsto shorten the length.

Chip shapes formed with the peripheral insert are roughly classified, depending on the types of workmaterials, into two different types, general steels (JIS S45C, SCM440, etc.) and long-chip steels (JISSS400, SUS316, S10C, SCM415, etc.). These features are described below.

Medium to high carbon steels, alloy steels, etc.

As shown below, several turns of coil are an ideal shape.As the feed increases, the curl radius and the number of turns tend to decrease.

Typical chip shapes of general steels Variation of chip shapes relating to feeds

Stainless steels, low-carbon steels, low-alloy steels, etc.

• When machining long-chip materials such as stainless steels and mild steels, a wrong selection of cuttingconditions results in chip entangling and tool breakage at worst. Therefore, cutting conditions should be care-fully selected.

• “C” shaped, continuous coils of several to ten turns having adequately divided length are ideal shape.

Ideal chip shapes

For machining stainless steels or low carbon steels,

DS chipbreaker is recommended.

When using a TDX drill in tool-rotating condition, DS

chipbreaker produces compact chips and allows more

stable machining than DJ chipbreaker. Especially

when using it in work-rotating condition, DS

chipbreaker provides outstanding affect on chip con-

trol.

Chips shapes which tend to entangle and remedies against them

① Apple-peel-like chipsThese chips are often produced in

machining mild steels or low-carbon

steels at low-speeds and low-feeds.

RemediesIncrease the cutting speed in stages

by 20% within the range of standard

cutting conditions. If there is no ef-

fect, increase the feed by about 10 %

as the cutting speed is raised by 20%.

②Short-lead chipsThese chips are often produced in

machining stainless steels at low-

feeds and tend to entangle to the tool

in spite of short length.

Remedies

Increase the feed by about 10 %. If

there is no effect, increase the cutting

speed in stages by 10% within the

range of standard cutting conditions.

③Very long chipsOften produced in machining mild

steels or low-carbon steels under

improper cutting conditions.

Remedies

Chip control for low-carbon steels at low cutting speeds

In the cases shown below, the demonstrated cutting speed is less than 60 m/min.As shown below, the use of DS chipbreaker allows effective chip control.

• When the cutting speed can not be raised to the standard cutting conditions because of machine limitation.

(Especially when using a small diameter drill)

• Safety problems could result from violently scattering chips.

Comparison of chip shapes ( ø22 drill, vertical machining center )

When machining a gummy material, as the cutting

speed increases, chips are likely to be broken into

shorter sections. But, in tool-rotating applications

such as on a machining center, chips are likely to

be violently scattered because of the increased

centrifugal forces as the cutting speed increases.

In such cases, a safety protection to cover the cut-

ting zone is essential.

Aluminum alloys

Chip control for aluminum alloys listedbelow is relatively easy and can be carriedout by using standard inserts.• Aluminum alloys for casting (JIS AC4B, etc.)• Aluminum alloys for die casting (JIS ADC12, etc.)• Al-Cu based aluminum alloys (JIS A2017, etc.)• Al-Zn-Mg based aluminum alloys (JIS A7075, etc.)• Heat-treated aluminum alloys ( -T6, etc.)

The following aluminum alloys are highly adhering andtend to be thick chips. Therefore, referring to the chartat right, select an appropriate chipbreaker and cuttingconditions for the machining purpose. In addition,as the peripheral edge especially tends to producelong and uncontrolled chips, step-feed drilling shouldbe carried out depending on the circumstance.• Al-Mg based aluminum alloy (JIS A5052)

DW chipbreaker is designed to forcibly break thick chips. The use of DW chipbreaker allows highlyefficient machining in higher feed rate.

Comparison of chip shapes (JIS S55C,ø22, Vc=100 m/min, f=0.2mm/rev, Vertical machining center)

Comparison of chip shapes at high feeds• When using a conventional chipbreaker at high feeds, the central edge produces short chips. But, as the chip

thickness increases, the occurrence of vibration makes the machining unstable. Additionally, the chips pro-duced with the peripheral edge are too thick and can not be curled.

• DW chipbreaker is designed to have a special section shape suitable for high feeds and to break thick chipsinto short length by forcibly curling them.

For high-feed machining, the guideline to select the

feed is about 1.5 times the standard cutting condi-

tions. High-feed machining will cause a heavy-load

on the machine. Therefore, it should be carried out

only when the machine has sufficient power and ri-

gidity.

Cutting fluid should be supplied in adequate vol-

ume through the tool. Fluid pressure of a minimum

1.5 MPa and volume of a minimum 10 l/min are rec-

ommended.

DW chipbreaker can control chips even innormal conditions. But, because the cuttingforces are higher than those of DJ chipbreaker,the first choice chipbreaker in normal conditionsis the DJ chipbreaker. DW chipbreaker shouldbe used where increased insert strength andimproved surface finish are required.

Chip shapes in normal conditions

Although DW chipbreaker can be used forrelatively gummy materials, DS chipbreaker hasan advantage over DW in compactness of thechips produced with the peripheral insert andthe stability in machining.DW chipbreaker is not recommended for high-feed machining of stainless steels.

• TDX drills are not suitable for the drilling of holes requiring high accuracy. Differing from solid carbide drills, thefinished hole diameter depends on three factors , 1. the accuracy of the insert , 2. the accuracy of the drill body, and 3. the oversize of the drilled hole.

Therefore, a guideline for the hole tolerance is IT 12 or more.

But, when using in a work-rotating condition, the finished diameter can be adjusted by offset machining. Evenin tool-rotating applications, use of the eccentric sleeve (“EZ sleeve”) allows adjusting.

• In some cases, the finished hole diameter machined with TDX drills is smaller than the drill diameter dependingon the work material and cutting conditions.

• When a severe tolerance to the finished diameter is required, a selection of drill diameter in consideration forthe stock removal and finishing such as boring are required.

• The charts below show the finishing diameters of TDX drills and competitive drills. In competitive drills, somevariations in finishing diameters resulting from measuring points and cutting conditions can be seen. TDX drillshowed stable finishing diameters.

Tool life determination for insert

As the insert failure develops, several phenomenons such as deterioration in chip controllability,increased cutting noise and increased cutting forces are observed.If the machining is continued as the failure is enlarged, it may cause breakage of the drill body. Whenthe following phenomenons are recognized, index or change the tool a little earlier.

• When excessive chipping or fracture is seen on the cutting edges.

• When at least one of notch wear (VN), flank wear width (VB), and corner wear width of peripheral edge (VC)reaches 0.3 mm.

• When the cutting noise excessively increases.

• When chip controllability remarkably deteriorates.

• When the net power consumption is increased by about 30 % compared to the beginning of cutting.

Tool life determination for drill body

As same as in inserts, the drill body also fails by rubbing of chips. Excessively damaged drill bodycan not achieve the original performance. Therefore, when the following phenomenons are recognized,change the drill body to new one a little earlier.

• When deformation, flaws, burrs, chip adherence are occurred on the insert pocket.

• When the insert pocket is damaged with the insert breakage.

• When the chip pocket is excessively damaged with the rubbing of chips.

• When the excessive rubbing on the peripheral part of drill body is observed.

• When the other phenomenons differing from the beginning of use are observed.

Damaged chip pocketresulting from rubbingof chips.

Example 1:The chip pocket is scooped

by rubbing of chips.

Effects• A change in chip control.• Likely to occur chip packing.• The oil hole is exposed in some cases.

Example 2:Damaged insert pocket accompanying

with insert fracturing

Effects• Bad influence on insert seating and clamping.• Likely to occur insert fracturing.

Superior surface finish !

• A guideline for surface finish is about 25µm in maximum depth. It depends on the work material and cuttingconditions.

• When a better surface finish is required, a finishing operation is needed.

• But, as shown in the Figure below, the use of DW insert achieves better surface finishes.

• Surface finishes are improved as the cutting speed is increased and the feed is decreased.

• When machining stainless steels and low carbon steels, the chip control is important. The surface finishobtained with DS insert is superior to those obtained with competitive inserts.

Height of unevenness

In addition to the maximum unevenness (Hmax)at the outer portion, the Hmax formed in the mid-section is also smaller than those formed by com-petitive drills. Therefore, when finishing the holebottom face, the toolholder of the finishing tool isless likely to interfere with the hole bottom.

Check the specifications of the toolholder

Selecting toolholders

• Side-lock type toolholders for drills or milling-chuck holderscommercially available from toolholder manufacturers are rec-ommended.

• Side-lock type toolholders for endmills are also usable, but thetool may be secured with only one screw.

• When using some of speed-accelerator type spindles and oil-hole holders, the drill shank must be shortened to prevent in-terference with their hole bottom.

Examples of side-lock type toolholder fordrills.• BIG: Sidelock drill holder

Example of type:BT50-TSL32-105

• KURODA: DA type sidelock holder

Example of type:BT50-SLDA32-120

• NIKKEN: Sidelock holder (for drills)

• By using commercially available eccentrictoolholders or “EZ sleeves” (eccentricsleeves specially designed for TDX drills),drilling diameters are adjustable.

• As for the use of “EZ sleeves”, see page43.

• When using “EZ sleeves”, use commerciallyavailable side-lock type toolholder for drills.

• Mount the drill body so that the cutting edges will be parallel to the X-axis of the machine.

• In normal circumstance, the drill body is mounted so that the peripheral insert can be seen from the operator. Insome machines, mounting of 180° opposite direction is also possible without problems.

• As the driving flat of the drill shank is machined to be parallel to the cutting edges, by tightening the flat with thefixing screw, the cutting edges are to be parallel to the X-axis of the machine.

Setting of drill body is a key factor

In normal circumstance, the drill body is mounted so thatthe peripheral insert can be seen from the operator.

Use of TDX drill on lathes

• The cutting edge height is an important factor to carry out proper machining.

• The center axis of the tool should be below the rotating axis of the machine by 0 to 0.2 mm.

• Prior checking of the center height of the machine by using a reference bar is recommended.

• In this case, the checking of the center height should be carried out at the same position as the overhang lengthof the drill.

• When the reference bar is not available, the ground part of a boring bar can be used as a substitute.

Checking of cutting edge height

Mainspindle

The condition of cutting edge height is not appro-priate, adjusting of the turret is basically needed.But, an easy adjusting method is described on thenext page.

When the condition of the cutting-edge height is improper, the following method is used for the adjusting.

Adjusting of cutting-edge height

• After mounting the drill body, check the condition of be-low-center by trial cutting before the real machining.

• If the drill body is properly set, a core of about ø0.5 mm indiameter is left in the bottom of the hole.

• If core is not left at all, it means “above- center”. If the corediameter is larger than ø1 mm, it means “excessive below-center”. In such cases, again check the cutting edge height.

• For the conditions of the trial cutting, low feeds of less than0.1 mm/rev and drilling depth up to 10 mm are recom-mended as a guideline.

If machining is carried out in such condition, the center cutting edge is likely to be chipped.Rotate the mounting direction by 180°. If the mounting direction can not be changed, rotate the drillbody by 180°. But in this case, additional machining of driving flat which is parallel to the cuttingedge is required.

In this case, in addition to the method q, shiftingof the mounting position to another turretposition may improve the condition.

If the drill body is mounted in such condition, thecore diameter is increased. If machining is carriedout as the core diameter is larger than 1 mm, it willresult in an unstable machining condition such asheavy vibration.In such cases, adjust the cutting edge height byusing “EZ-sleeve” (the eccentric sleeve designedspecially for TDX drills) or adjust the accuracy ofthe turret itself.For the use of“EZ sleeve”, referto page 43.

Checking of setting conditions by trial cutting

A larger hole than the drill diameter can be machined !

• When the drill is used in a work-rotating mode such as in lathes, offsetting of the drill in the X-axis of themachine allows fine adjustment of the drilled hole diameter.

• When the offset machining is carried out, the drill body should be mounted so that the cutting edge will beparallel to the X-axis of the machine. Mount the tool referring to the aforesaid setting method.

Offsetting to the direction ofdecreased drilling diameters.

Offsetting to the direction ofincreased drilling diameters.

Drilled diameters obtained by offsetting are roughly

calculated as following.

Drilled diameter = Drill diameter + Displacement X 2Example:

Drill diameter: ø20 mm

Displacement: 0.2 mm

Drilled diameter=20 + 0.2 X 2 = ø20.4 mm

• The allowable displacement has a dependence on the drill diameters. Offsetting must not exceed the maximumdisplacement shown in the table.

• When causing insert breakage or vibration, reduce the feed.

• To prevent the drill-body from interfering with workpiece, the displacement to the direction of decreased diametersshould be within 0.1 mm. Even when setting within 0.1 mm, there is a possibility of interfering depending on thecondition of the cutting-edge height and the hole straightness. Please check these carefully.

When the drill penetrates the hole, uncutdisc-like piece may fly-out from betweenthe chuck jaws.This piece has sharp edges and is verydangerous. A guard to cover the chuck isrequired.

Cover

Disc-like uncut piece

In machining gummy materials or high-feed machining,a disc-like uncut piece may be left on the exit side ofthe hole. By reducing the feed from the position of about3 mm toward the exit, the occurrence of the piece canbe mostly prevented.

Exit side

When machining of a large diameter hole in excess of themaximum drilling diameter is required, there is a method inwhich the hole once machined by solid drilling is enlargedby boring in several steps as shown in the Figure at right.But, in the boring operation, the chip control is more difficultthan that in the solid drilling. Therefore, use of a purpose-made boring tool is recommended for the operation.

Taper screw for pipeWhen the drill is used on a lathe without internalcoolant supply, remove the taper screw from theflange of the drill body and connect a coolantsupply hose to the position. By this, coolant canbe supplied through the tool. ( This method isapplied only to the drills of L/D=2 and 3.)In this case, the rear end of the drill shank shouldbe plugged with the removed taper screw.

Surface conditions to be machined

Specially difficult machining types are described in this page. This machining should be avoided wherepossible by carrying out some prior machining. When having no choice but to do these types ofmachining, care should be taken to the following.(Stack drilling is excluded.)

(1) Drilling into angled face

Special caution must be taken to the following machining !

When the engaging surface or exit-side surface isangled, set the feed to within 0.05 mm/rev. Whenusing the drill of 4D or 5D design, prior flattening ofthe engaging surface by using an end mill is recom-mended.

(2) Drilling into arc face

When the engaging surface is arc, the feed at en-gagement should be set to within 0.05 mm/rev. Theradius of the arc should be greater than the five timesthe tool diameter.

R

R

Drilling of interrupted hole

The feed during the penetrating and engagement in an interrupted portion should be within 1/2 of thestandard condition. Before engaging in the interrupted portion, a disc-like chip produced in penetrat-ing must be completely removed.

Special machining

29

Drilling of stacked plates

In drilling of stacked plates, a disc-like chip is produced between the plates. Thismay increase a possibility of causing the insert and drill body to be damaged.Therefore, TDX drills are not recommended for this operation.

Clearance betweenplates

Disc-like chip

Enlarging of pre-drilled hole

• When enlarging a pre-drilled hole, the hole diameter should be within 1/4 of the diameter of TDX drill. Ifchips are not well controlled, peck-drilling or dwelling (about 0.1 sec.) is recommended.

• As shown in Figure below, the bottom face of the hole machined with TDX drill is slightly convex. In thenext process, if drilling is carried out to the face, the risk of drill breakage or poor hole straightness maybe increased. After pre-drilling with another drill, TDX drill should be used.

◎

× ○

• For counterboring of a hole, TCB-type counterboring cutters are recommended. The TCB-type cutterprovided with two effective cutting edges allows more efficient machining than TDX drill. In addition,the insert with dimple-type chipbreaker performs better chip control.

Unfavorable chip shapes in MQL machining

What is MQL machining ?

“MQL machining” is a new machining method where a minimum quantity (about 10 cc/hour)of lubricant mixed with air is supplied to the cutting point.This method features:q The temperature of the cutting edge is lower than that of in “Absolute dry-machining”.

Therefore, existing tools can be applied to the machining.w Compared with “Cooled-air machining”, the required apparatus is simple and low cost.

Nevertheless, pronounced effect on tool life can be obtained.The following are key points in carrying out “MQL machining”.

Tips in selecting cutting conditions

Preferable chip shapes in MQL machining

Stably continuous coil-shape chips produced with central cutting edge

Crushed chips produced with

central cutting edge

Elongated chips produced with

central cutting edge

When the chips produced with the cen-tral cutting edge are crushed or elon-gated without curling, reduce the feed.

• Through-the -tool coolant supply is a must in MQL machining.• MQL machining is not suitable for some materials, which generate high-temperature during machining, such as stainless

steels and heat-resistant steels.

About the MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) machining

Cutting conditions for reference Cutting speed : Vc=80 ~180 m/min Feed : f =0.03 ~ 0.08 mm/rev

31

In MQL machining, compared with wet machining, chip shape varies remarkably depending on the feed rate. Refer-ring to the following, select the proper conditions allowing stable chip removal. When selecting, find the conditions inwhich the chips produced with the central cutting edge are continuous coil-shape.

Cutting fluids

• Water-soluble cutting fluids (such as JIS W1-2) shouldbe used. Water insoluble cutting fluids are not recom-mended because their fumes may catch fire.

• Fluid pressure of 1 MPa or greater and fluid quantity of7 lit/min or more are essential.

• For 4D and 5D types, 1.5 MPa or greater and 10 lit/minor more are recommended.

• Cutting fluid should be supplied through the oil hole ofthe tool. When there is no choice other than externalsupply, reduce the cutting speed by 20 % of the stan-dard condition and limit the drilling depth to within 1.5times the drill diameter. External supply should beavoided for machining stainless steel and heat-resis-tant steels.

Maximum drilling depth

The flute length of TDX drills is a little larger thanthe maximum drilling depth. This is needed forchip removal when drilling to the maximum drill-ing depth.

Drilling in excess of the maximum drilling lengthshould be avoided.

Additional length for penetrating

When drilling to the maximum drilling depth, theadditional length for penetrating should be within10 % of the drill diameter.

See “Cautions when using on lathes” on page 28.

Adjusting finishing diameter in milling

As shown in the Figure below, set the EZ sleeve be-tween the drill shank and the toolholder.

Adjusting cutting edgeheight on lathe

Align the scale graduated on the periphery of the EZsleeve with the center of the flat of the drill flange.In the Figure shown below, the sleeve is set so thatthe finishing diameter will be increases by 0.4 mm.

As shown in the Figure below, set the EZ sleeve be-tween the drill shank and the toolblock.

Align the scale graduated on the front face of the EZsleeve with the center of the flat of the drill flange.In the Figure shown below, the sleeve is set so thatthe center of the drill will shift by 0.1 mm to the plus(+) direction.

When aligning the scales, insert the attached wrench into the hole on the periphery of the sleeve and rotate the sleeve.After aligning the scales, secure the fixing bolt “A” positioned closer to the drill. Then, lightly secure the fixing bolt “B”to prevent the sleeve from rotating.

Cautious points• The scale should be used only as a guide. Measuring and checking of the real finishing diameter is essential. Especially

when using for adjusting the cutting edge height on a lathe, the finishing diameter also varies with the adjusting. Check thediameter by try cutting.

• When using the sleeve in milling, use a side-lock-type toolholder. Collet type toolholders and milling chucks should not beused for this purpose.

• When heavy vibration develops during machining such as in combining with a long drill exceeding L/D=4 or requiring largeamount of adjusting, reduce the feed rate.

• If the finishing hole diameter is excessively adjusted to the minus (—) direction, the drill body may interfere with the hole tobe drilled. Adjusting to the minus direction should be carried out, only when the finishing diameter is larger than the nominaldrill diameter, as a means of fine adjustment.
