    indexable drill

    I use 1.125 inch indexable drill in VMC to drill some holes. The material is QT100.
    I set the 1400 rpm and 1.4in./min feedrate . It works well more than 600 holes.
    But yesterday just after I replaced inserts, the peripherial insert broke and drill was damaged.
    Could anybody know the reason?

    Thank you

    Here are some possibilities:

    Material flaw
    Insert:
    Flawed
    Dropped
    Over-Tightened
    Wrong Grade
    Installed over chip
    Coolant:
    Did not come on
    Was insufficient
    Thanks,
    Ken Foulks

    Most damage to a insert drill in a mill is due to.
    Dirty seat pockets when changing inserts and chips.
    you could have also worn your seat out and the insert wasnt locating properly

    unlike a lathe that can be off center a mill always drills on center ,which is usually the cause.
