Frequently Asked Questions

How is a gun drill different from a twist drill?

Twist drills need to perform deep hole processing via step feeding, requiring a large amount of processing time. Since gun drills can process without step feeding, they perform hole drilling with very high efficiency.

How deep can a gun drill process?

In general, it can drill to a depth of about 50 to 100 times that of the hole diameter.

How curved is the hole?

Straightness can be kept below 0.01 mm for a length of 150 mm and off-center precision below 0.2 mm for 150 mm. With the Gun Feeder LR rotating the workpiece opposite to the gun drill, off-center precision can be kept below 0.03 mm for 150 mm lengths.

Can hardened materials be processed?

Yes. The gun drill has processed holes in SCM (hardness HRC40) at a grade of 5 and depth of 273 mm, and carburized and hardened materials at a grade of 3.5 and depth of 134 mm.
