Like the title says... what is the best style holder and tool for "tight tolerance" holes?
.3165 dia, +/-0.0008, .315-.355 deep, through the part, 6061. This hole needs a slip fit for a pin, so we need a reasonably smooth surface finish to boot.
This is a feature we have interpolated for years but I'm sure there is some sort of holder/tool combo that will let us blast them out in a lot less time, especially considering we're running these through a Brother w/16k spindle.
We do 100k's of these holes so something that will hold size and doesn't have to be swapped regularly is a huge bonus.
PCD tipped drill? Regular ol' solid carbide good enough? Coated or bright?
We don't have a shrinkfit or rego machine, is a collet chuck going to be good enough? SK vs ER?
