20 Ways to Save Time in a Machine Shop

Scenario #12:

Do you use perform drilling on a machine that’s not equipped with through-spindle coolant?

Time-saving solution : Efficiency in coolant delivery is not all that different from other concepts in machining. Like a holder with excellent runout control, delivering coolant to the cut as directly as possible improves results. This is especially true with drilling because of the extra texture/flutes of the geometries that make them more susceptible to buildup or deflection if chips aren’t evacuated properly. Coolant inducers can provide a big boost in coolant delivery and, in turn, speed up all your drilling cycles.

Estimated time savings: 1-5 minutes per drilled hole
