Use the Break chip strategy to drill the holes in several stages (multiple peck) by drilling one peck at a time, retracting only a small amount after each peck.
There are several pages associated with the Break chip strategy:
- Drilling — The main page used to define a multiple peck drilling toolpath.
- Retraction — Settings to control how far the thread tool retracts between pecks.
- Feed rate reduction — Settings to control the feed rate at the top and bottom of a hole relative to the feed rate for the remainder of the hole.
- Feed rate intersection — Settings to control the feed rate at the intersections of a hole relative to the feed rate for the remainder of the hole.
- Pecking — Settings to control how far the drill drills down the hole for each peck and retracts up the hole between pecks.
- Order — Settings to control the order of machining.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify the toolpath when calculating it.
For more information on the Strategy Selector dialog, see Toolpath Strategies.
The common tabs are described in common toolpath strategy pages.
