3. Speed selection for annular cutters (also see plate on gearbox): Ø 27 - 50 mm (1 1/16" - 2") Speed 380 rpm; Ø 12 - 26 mm (1/2" - 1") Speed 690 rpm. [image 4-4] WARNING: Never touch moving machine parts! 4.4 Vacuum clamping system Make sure the vacuum base of the drilling machine is placed on a smooth, clean, and solid surface without any objects or debris to guarantee maximum adhesion.
We want to point out that above mentioned precautions and indicators do not guarantee that the vacuum base will not release from the material. EUROBOOR accepts no liability when it comes to the vacuum base or indicators not functioning or functioning poorly.
*Disclaimer: EUROBOOR is not liable for any damage caused to the machine due to electrical problems in the workplace. Above mentioned protection is not guaranteed in all cases of voltage spikes and/or frequency fluctuations.
4.9 Tool lubrication Proper lubrication will help you create better and faster results, and extend the lifetime of your tools. Make sure to use a suitable cutting paste, for example EUROBOOR IBP.70 for high alloy metal like stainless steel. WARNING: Do not use fluid lubricants like cutting oil or spray. Excessive use of greasy fluids may affect the function of the rubber seal in the vacuum base and reduce the adsorption force or cause the vacuum base to slide away on the workpiece.
5. Working with drilling accessories 5.1 Annular cutters Annular cutters only cut material at the periphery of the hole, rather than converting the entire hole to shavings. As a result, the energy required to make a hole is lower than for a twist drill. When drilling with an annular cutter, it is not necessary to drill a pilot hole.
5.2 Twist drills Weldon shank 19.05 mm (3/4") Fit the twist drill with 19.05 mm (3/4") Weldon shank (EUROBOOR code SPI or SSPI) into the provided arbor and fasten the screws with the provided Allen key. Follow the further steps in paragraph Annular cutters.
Make sure the machine runs at maximum speed for twist drills! 5.3 Step drills and countersinks Use step drills for reaming (for example EUROBOOR set code ESS.430/2) or countersink drills for countersinking (for example EUROBOOR set code CBS.620) and follow the steps mentioned in the...
