Drilling titanium

[GoetzInd]

If you need a machine and don’t buy it, then you will ultimately find that you have paid for it and don’t have it.

The money is there, I suggested a coolant fed drill and a carbide one, he said he would get one of each and never did. He finally came in with his carbide drill and it work but that was after a week. He said I have 2 back up drills invade that one breaks so I looked at them and they are too short, I hope my current drill lasts 14 more parts.

I do a lot titanium parts making holers ..carbide drills coolant thru = no headaches (as long as you have the right RPM and Feed)

Normaly I select the drill I check for length of cut (how deep is going to drill and have suficient flute length for chips evacuacion) as well as OAL, (how long is going to be extende from the tip of the holder) I place the order and give them the paper work.
