2″ hole through 3/4″ Steel – Chip Issue!
A two inch drilled hole process through 3/4″ steel. The AutoDrill 5100 series unit strokes down quickly, takes a nice controlled cut through the plate, then retracts back and ejects the “plug” created by the annular cutter. The annular cutter is simply a fancy hole saw for this type of process. We tried the “non-fancy” way of manually pecking to break the chip. As you can see, it didn’t work to well. AutoDrill *does* offer automatic peck cycles as well as PLC controllable drills with proximity sensors for a much better way of performing this process. However, chip issues may still exist depending on the product being drilled, the size of the hole cutter, etc. Please contact AutoDrill with any questions or for a quotation. 01.908.542.0244 800-871-5022 www.Drill-N-Tap.com http www.AutoDrill.com http www.Drilling-Heads.com http www.Drill-Unit.com http MultiDrill-Heads.com www.MultiSpindle-Drill-Heads.com http Production-Tapping-Equipment.com drill head multi drill press attachment multi drill dual drill automatic drill
