Peck drilling is often used for bole deep to be drilled with a single tool motion. ‘dnling methods iso offer several opportunities to improve any standard techniques as well, Here are some possible uses of methods for machining holes; = Deep hole drilling = Chip breaking and for short holes in tough materials = Cleanup of chips accumulated on drill flutes = Frequent cooling and lubricating of the drill cutting edge ® Controlling drill penetration through ‘the material Inall cases, drilling motions of the G83 or G73 cycle pro- duce an interrupted cut that can be programmed very sim- ply by specifying a Q-amount in the cycle. This value spec- ifies the actual depth of each smaller the Q value, more pecks will be generated vice versa. For most deep hole drilling jobs, the exact number of pecks is not important, but there are cases when either pecking cycle needs to be controlled.
