Mobile thermal drilling

6. Maintenance

6.1. Flowdrill

The friction or contact surfaces of the Flowdrill have the tendency for foreign material to adhere, which

in places coats the drill. This adhesion tendency is very material-dependent and cannot be avoided

entirely. For this reason clean the Flowdrill regularly with an emery cloth and remove adhesions

promptly.

6.2. Flowtap

The Flowtap should never be used dry, but always in conjunction with special tapping oil (e.g. FTMZ

from Flowdrill

). Make sure the tapping flanks are clean and free of dirt and scratches. Clean the

Flowtap if necessary with a soft wire brush and/or compressed air.

6.3. Tool holder and collet

Regularly clean the tool holder from inside and remove all contamination in the gaps of the collet.
