A Multitude of things can go wrong on a gundrilling job.

A single cause may trigger several adverse reactions

And a specific condition may have multiple causes.


The Gundrilling Handbook includes two troubleshooting charts,
one for Tool Problems and one for Part Problems.

The charts are specially designed to help you perform
a rational analysis of the problem and quickly
pinpoint the possible contributors.


Troubleshooting Tips

The important thing to remember: don't jump to conclusions!
Take a cool-headed approach! Attack the problem logically!

When you think you've nailed the culprit(s)
make just one or two changes at a time.
Be sure and record all changes and results
as you proceed– you may have to backtrack.

Some tool conditions, such as edge build-up, flute packing
with chips and excessive heat will most likely disappear
once the actual causes are eliminated.

In any event, check the tool for general condition
before resuming normal production.

All other conditions shown will probably
require regrind or replacement.
