Understanding Tool Maintenance and Care for Vertical Deep Hole Drills

Vertical deep hole drilling is a kind of machine tool used for machining deep holes, and its tool is a vital part of deep hole machining. Correct tool maintenance and repair methods can extend tool life and improve machining quality and efficiency. The following are the maintenance and repair methods for vertical deep hole drilling tools.

1. Clean the tool: After using the tool, clean the tool in time. First of all, use a special tool or air jet gun to remove the debris and oil on the tool thoroughly. Then you can use a mild detergent or wipe to clean the surface of the knife, and finally dry the knife.

2. Check the knives: Before each use, check the knives for wear. If you find that the knives are worn, chipped or otherwise damaged, replace the knives promptly. In addition, check whether the fixing screws of the tool are firm, in order to prevent the tool from loosening in the process of machining.

3. Tool lubrication: In deep hole machining, the tool needs to withstand large loads and wear, so tool lubrication is very important. Specialized tool lubricant or cutting fluid can be used to lubricate the tool. The lubricant can reduce wear and friction and extend the service life of the tool. At the same time, the lubricant can also cool the tool to avoid affecting the machining quality due to overheating.

4. Tool sharpening: after a period of time, due to friction and wear, the teeth of the tool may become blunt or wear out. At this time you need to sharpen the tool. You can use a special grinding machine or grinder to grind the teeth of the tool. When sharpening the teeth to choose the appropriate grinding speed and pressure, so as not to cause excessive wear. After grinding, the tool should also be quality checked to ensure the precision and quality of the teeth.

5. Tool maintenance: During the non-use period of the tool, the tool should be properly stored. The knives should be placed in a dry, ventilated place to avoid moisture and rust. At the same time, knives should be categorized and organized for quick access when in use. When storing knives, you can use a knife cover or knife box to protect the knives from external damage.

6. Regular maintenance: regular maintenance is an important measure to extend the life of the tool. Can be based on the use of the tool and the amount of machining to develop a corresponding maintenance program. Maintenance work includes tool cleaning, lubrication, inspection and grinding teeth. Regular maintenance can find and solve tool problems in time and prevent the tool from being damaged due to long-term use.

In short, the tool maintenance and maintenance methods of vertical deep hole drilling are very important for improving machining quality and efficiency. Correct maintenance methods can extend tool life, reduce machining costs, and ensure the stability and accuracy of machining. Therefore, when using vertical deep hole drilling, we should pay attention to the maintenance and care of the tool to ensure that the tool is always in good working condition.
