What is peck drilling?

Correct Answer:
Verified

Peck drilling is similar to a standard drilling cycle except that the tool is backed out of the hole at certain intervals to clear the chips and cool the tool. Almost every deep hole will need to be peck drilled in order to maintain a reasonable tool life. This is particularly true when using HSS drills that cannot handle as much heat as carbide. In fact, the G83 cycle is used much more often than the standard G81 drilling cycle for the average machining application.

The need may occasionally arise to program canned cycles in incremental coordinates. In this situation, a couple of changes will need to be made for the canned cycle to perform properly:
1. The retract plane will be set as an incremental distance from the initial plane.
2. The Z-depth will be set as the incremental distance from the retract plane to the bottom of the hole.

Q is an incremental distance used to specify the ____ depth.
