Fundamental Experiment of Near-Dry Deep Hole Drilling with BTA Tool - The Optimal Cutting Conditions and Tool’s Geometry

Abstract:

The BTA tool is a tool for deep-hole drilling. The deep-hole which be machined by this tool has the excellent straightness and roughness. However, it's use a lot of cutting oil. Therefore, it will lead to environmental destruction. Thereupon, in this study, it is applied the near-dry system to the deep-hole drilling with BTA tool. In the previously, it was designed the experimental device with a double tube system, and the cutting experiments was carried out. In this system, the chip is discharged through inside of the inner tube. Frequently, the chip is cannot be divided by the adhesion on the cutting edge during drilling. Thereby, the chip was jammed into the inside of tool’s tube. It is tried experiments of various cutting conditions, cutting speed and feed rate, by tools with different geometry, height and width, of the chip-breaker. And, it is observed the discharge condition of chips, the chip’s shape and the situation of adhesion. As a result, it can be found the optimum cutting condition and tool’s geometry for a continuous chip’s discharge while the deep-hole is drilling by a BTA tool in near-dry system.
