Abstract
Deep hole drilling represents the most economical method of hole producing with length-to-diameter ratios ≥5. The objective of this study was to ascertain the effect of machining parameters on hole quality produced by the deep hole machining process and to develop a better understanding of the effect of these process parameters on the hole quality. Such an understanding can provide insight into the quality control problems of the holes when the process parameters are adjusted to obtain certain characteristics. This study deals with the experimental results obtained during boring trepanning association (BTA) drilling on medium carbon steel (AISI 1060). The surface roughness, out-of-roundness, and hole size are influenced by cutting speed and feed rate of the deep hole drilling.
