Chip shapes
In TAC drills, because the central insert and the peripheral insert cut entirely different zones, two types
of chips are produced. The following are the features of each shape.
Chip shape produced with central insert

• 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 chip
to increase in thickness and develops vibration which disturbs stable
machining.
• In TDX drills, marked chips shown below are the most preferable
shapes. This type of chip is broken into adequate length by centrifugal
forces when used in tool-rotating condition. On the other hand, when
used in work-rotating condition such as on a lathe, a continuously long
chip is often produced without entangling.

Chip shape produced with peripheral insert

• Chip problems such as entangling are mainly caused by chips pro-
duced with the peripheral insert. These problems are dependent on
the types of work material and the cutting conditions.
• As shown below, when the feed is extremely low, the chips jump
over the chipbreaker groove and the continuously long chips may
wrap around the drill body.
• When the feed is too high, the chips increase the thickness and can
not be curled.
• Therefore, it is important to select proper cutting conditions to suit
the machining so that well controlled chips will be formed.

Adequate feed Feed is too high.
• Just after start of cutting, a continuously long, Chip shape in early stage of cut
coil-shaped chip is formed, but when the drilling
depth reaches to 0.5 D to 1 D, the chip tends to
shorten the length.
• The chip shape in the early stage of cut , as both
the cutting speed and feed are increased, tends Start of cut
to shorten the length.

Chip shapes formed with the peripheral insert are roughly classified, depending on the types of work
materials, into two different types, general steels (JIS S45C, SCM440, etc.) and long-chip steels (JIS
SS400, 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.

f = 0.07mm/rev f = 0.1mm/rev f = 0.13mm/rev
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 cutting
conditions 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.

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.

Chip shapes (DW chipbreaker)
DW chipbreaker is designed to forcibly break thick chips. The use of DW chipbreaker allows highly
efficient machining in higher feed rate.
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 chips
into short length by forcibly curling them.

Finished hole diameters
• TDX drills are not suitable for the drilling of holes requiring high accuracy. Differing from solid carbide drills, the
finished 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. Even
in 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 depending
on the work material and cutting conditions.
• When a severe tolerance to the finished diameter is required, a selection of drill diameter in consideration for
the 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, some
variations in finishing diameters resulting from measuring points and cutting conditions can be seen. TDX drill
showed stable finishing diameters.

Determination of tool life
Change the tool a little earlier !
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. When
the 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 body
can 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.

Surface finish
Superior surface finish !
• A guideline for surface finish is about 25µm in maximum depth. It depends on the work material and cutting
conditions.
• 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 finish
obtained with DS insert is superior to those obtained with competitive inserts.

Use of TDX drill on lathes
Setting of drill body is a key factor
Mounting the drill on turret (tool post)

• 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. In
some 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 the
fixing screw, the cutting edges are to be parallel to the X-axis of the machine.

Checking of cutting edge height

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

Checking of setting conditions by trial cutting
• After mounting the drill body, check the condition of be-

low-center by trial cutting before the real machining. Core in center portion
• If the drill body is properly set, a core of about ø0.5 mm in
About 0.5 mm in diameter

diameter is left in the bottom of the hole.
• If core is not left at all, it means “above- center”. If the core
diameter 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 than
0.1 mm/rev and drilling depth up to 10 mm are recom-
mended as a guideline.
Drilling depth: Up to 10 mm
Adjusting of cutting-edge height

When the condition of the cutting-edge height is improper, the following method is used for the adjusting.
q In the case of “above-center”

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 drill
body by 180°. But in this case, additional machining of driving flat which is parallel to the cutting
edge is required.

result in an unstable machining condition such as
heavy vibration.
In such cases, adjust the cutting edge height by
using “EZ-sleeve” (the eccentric sleeve designed
specially for TDX drills) or adjust the accuracy of
the turret itself.
For the use of
“EZ sleeve”, refer
to page 43.

Offset machining on lathe
A larger hole than the drill diameter can be machined !
Offset machining
• When the drill is used in a work-rotating mode such as in lathes, offsetting of the drill in the X-axis of the
machine 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 be
parallel to the X-axis of the machine. Mount the tool referring to the aforesaid setting method.

• The allowable displacement has a dependence on the drill diameters. Offsetting must not exceed the maximum
displacement 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 diameters
should be within 0.1 mm. Even when setting within 0.1 mm, there is a possibility of interfering depending on the
condition of the cutting-edge height and the hole straightness. Please check these carefully.

Cautions when using on lathes
Through-hole drilling
Cover
When the drill penetrates the hole, uncut
disc-like piece may fly-out from between
the chuck jaws.
This piece has sharp edges and is very
dangerous. A guard to cover the chuck is
required.
Disc-like uncut piece
When a disc-like uncut piece is left on the exit side
Exit side
In machining gummy materials or high-feed machining,
a disc-like uncut piece may be left on the exit side of
the hole. By reducing the feed from the position of about
3 mm toward the exit, the occurrence of the piece can
be mostly prevented.
When machining a large diameter hole in excess of the maximum drilling diameter
When machining of a large diameter hole in excess of the

maximum drilling diameter is required, there is a method in
which the hole once machined by solid drilling is enlarged
by boring in several steps as shown in the Figure at right.
But, in the boring operation, the chip control is more difficult
than that in the solid drilling. Therefore, use of a purpose-
made boring tool is recommended for the operation.
When using on a lathe without internal coolant supply
When the drill is used on a lathe without internal

Taper screw for pipe
coolant supply, remove the taper screw from the
flange of the drill body and connect a coolant
supply hose to the position. By this, coolant can
be supplied through the tool. ( This method is
applied only to the drills of L/D=2 and 3.)
In this case, the rear end of the drill shank should
be plugged with the removed taper screw.
28
Special machining
Special caution must be taken to the following machining !
Specially difficult machining types are described in this page. This machining should be avoided where
possible by carrying out some prior machining. When having no choice but to do these types of
machining, care should be taken to the following.
(Stack drilling is excluded.)
Surface conditions to be machined
(1) Drilling into angled face

When the engaging surface or exit-side surface is
angled, set the feed to within 0.05 mm/rev. When
using the drill of 4D or 5D design, prior flattening of
the 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- R
gagement should be set to within 0.05 mm/rev. The

radius of the arc should be greater than the five times
the tool diameter.
Drilling of interrupted hole
The feed during the penetrating and engagement in an interrupted portion should be within 1/2 of the
standard condition. Before engaging in the interrupted portion, a disc-like chip produced in penetrat-
ing must be completely removed.
29
Drilling of stacked plates
In drilling of stacked plates, a disc-like chip is produced between the plates. This
may increase a possibility of causing the insert and drill body to be damaged.
Therefore, TDX drills are not recommended for this operation.
Disc-like chip
Clearance between
plates
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. If
chips 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 the
next process, if drilling is carried out to the face, the risk of drill breakage or poor hole straightness may
be 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 cutter
provided with two effective cutting edges allows more efficient machining than TDX drill. In addition,
the insert with dimple-type chipbreaker performs better chip control.

About the MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) 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

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 in
which the chips produced with the central cutting edge are continuous coil-shape.
Cutting conditions for reference Cutting speed : Vc=80 ~180 m/min Feed : f =0.03 ~ 0.08 mm/rev

Unfavorable chip shapes in MQL machining
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.
31
Cautionary points in use
Cutting fluids
• Water-soluble cutting fluids (such as JIS W1-2) should
be 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 of
7 lit/min or more are essential.
• For 4D and 5D types, 1.5 MPa or greater and 10 lit/min
or more are recommended.
Within 1.5D
• Cutting fluid should be supplied through the oil hole of
the tool. When there is no choice other than external
supply, reduce the cutting speed by 20 % of the stan-
7
dard condition and limit the drilling depth to within 1.5
times the drill diameter. External supply should be
avoided for machining stainless steel and heat-resis-
tant steels.
Maximum drilling depth
The flute length of TDX drills is a little larger than Flute length
Maximum drilling depth
the maximum drilling depth. This is needed for
chip removal when drilling to the maximum drill-
Drill diameter
ing depth.
Drilling in excess of the maximum drilling length
should be avoided.
Additional length for penetrating
When drilling to the maximum drilling depth, the Additional length for
penetrating ≤ 0.1 X øD
additional length for penetrating should be within
10 % of the drill diameter.
Use in work-rotating condition

Note: Select the sleeve so that the D1 of the sleeve will be same as the diameter of the drill shank.
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 the
diameter by try cutting.
• When using the sleeve in milling, use a side-lock-type toolholder. Collet type toolholders and milling chucks should not be
used for this purpose.
• When heavy vibration develops during machining such as in combining with a long drill exceeding L/D=4 or requiring large
amount 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 to
be drilled. Adjusting to the minus direction should be carried out, only when the finishing diameter is larger than the nominal
drill diameter, as a means of fine adjustment.
