Confirmation of Cutting Edge      
 

Fig.1
  • Check the worn and/or damaged condition of the cutting edge.

  • In case of extensive chipping on the cutting edge, eliminate the segment with a GC-wheel.

  • <Secondary Relief Grinding>
    In case of much elimination or several times of regrinding, eliminate back metal as the secondary relief (oblique portion of Fig. 1) with a WA-wheel.


Primary Relief Grinding    
 



Fig.2

Fig.3


Fig.4

  • Use a collet chack when installing a drill.

  • Recommend to use the coolant, because a drill is easy to heat and cracks occurs.


     

  • The main cutting edge should be parallel from the drill's point view as shown in Fig. 2.

  • Set the rest on the rake face to adjust the drill position.

  • The point angle should be 150° with the swivel angle designated to 15° as shown in Fig. 3.

  • Incline the angle of the drill to 10° (Fig. 4). The angle will be the primary relief angle of the cutting edge.

  • After the completion of a single cutting edge, index the drill until another side of the rake face contacts the rest. Then regrind another cutting edge. The grinding depth is 0.02 - 0.03mm per pass.

    <Spark Out>

  • Last, finish both cutting edges with the grind depth at 0.01mm. Repeat the procedure 2 - 3 times, including a spark out with a slow traverse for finishing.

    <Remark>

  • Grind until the worn and chipped segment of the cutting edge is eliminated.
    Pay extra attention to the wear on the major portion.


Secondary Relief Grinding    
 

Fig.5
  • After the completion of the primary relief, grind the secondary relief by the hands (oblique portion of Fig. 1).

  • Eliminate the back metal with a WA-wheel so that the secondary relief angle gets lager than the primary relief one, 10° (Fig. 5).

  • The wheel shouldn't contact the insert, if possible.

  • Eliminate burrs with a file.


Slit    
 

Fig.6
  • After the completion of the secondary relief, cut the slit with a hand saw.

  • The slit depth is approximately 0.1D (Fig. 6).


Honing    
 



Fig.7

Fig.8

  • Last, execute the honing.

  • The honing should be done homogeneously on entire cutting edge as Fig. 7.

  • The honing angle is 30° as shown in Fig. 8.

  • The honing width is according to the work material. In case of cutting a general steel, the honing width is 0.15 - 0.20mm. On honing width, refer to the operating instruction.

  • Chamfer on the drill corner as Fig. 7.

  • The honing face is finished with a hand lapper.

   
  • ˆThe regrinding process is completed.
    Comfirm the following criteria before using.
  1. Within 0.03mm the lip height difference.
  2. Complete grinding of damage segments of the cutting edge.
  3. Optimal honing.
  4. Grinding barr is eliminated.
