Troubleshooting –



Welcome to Troubleshooting 101!

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.



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.

For a graphic explanation of
damage cause and effect,
