Abstract

Drilling is a widely used production method, having a broad range of applications
taking part in machining operations. The length of the cutting edge of the
drill causes variations in cutting speed, resulting in undesired outputs. In
order to decrease this adverse impact in drilling, selecting higher point
angles is an obligation, associated with three different kinds of feed rates
and spindle speeds. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of feed
rate, spindle speed, and point angle on the fluctuation size in thrust force
besides the effect of the fluctuation size in thrust force on the surface
roughness, tool wear and chip morphology. In conclusion, while higher point
angles provided optimum outputs such as lower fluctuation size in thrust force,
less tool wear, better surface quality and continuous chip form, the effect of
feed rate and spindle speed on these outputs varied depending on each other.
With the stability in fluctuation size in thrust force, less tool wear took
place, and better surface quality and continuous chip form were achieved. However,
due to the effect of vibrations, higher fluctuation size in thrust force caused
undesired outputs, such as poor surface quality, more tool wear, removal chip
in short and brittle form during the drilling operations.
