Greetings,
I'm looking at a job that requires some deep hole drilling in grade 5 titanium. I've never done that, and have always been just fine with that. Any suggestions for a specific drill design that can pull this off without that wonderful "SNAP" sound? I'm drilling clearance holes to be reamed out to a finish ream of 6.5mm for temperature probes in a block. Shallow holes are around 1/2" deep, deep holes 8"!
Of course we don't have anything like EDM so if I bid on this, it's a manual milling and lathe show.
Thanks in advance.
