Decision inputs

Pre-commercial, indicative guidance. The final procedure and safety controls require competent review, order data and the actual material document.

  • 01

    Rigid machine and secure workholding.

  • 02

    Short tool overhang.

  • 03

    Suitable carbide tooling.

  • 04

    Controlled entry and exit.

  • 05

    Cutting fluid strategy and chip control.

02 / Decision tree

Decision sequence

  1. 01

    Stabilise the setup

    Use a rigid machine, secure workholding and short tool overhang.

  2. 02

    Select the tool strategy

    Choose suitable carbide tooling and cutting fluid strategy with tool-maker data.

  3. 03

    Control entry, exit and chips

    Avoid uncontrolled impact loading and maintain chip control.

  4. 04

    Validate parameters progressively

    Increase only after a stable trial; drilling requires support at breakthrough.

03 / Inspection

Post-process inspection

  • 01

    Inspect tool wear, holes, burrs and thermal effects.

  • 02

    Verify secure workholding remains effective between operations.

04 / Hold point

Stop and escalation conditions

  • HOLDThe workpiece is not securely held.
  • HOLDBreakthrough support is missing.
  • HOLDThe tool shows instability or damage.
  • HOLDChips or cutting fluid cannot be managed safely.
