FAQs

What is the best cutting speed?

The ideal cutting speed depends on the material being cut. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations or a cutting speed chart for the material you are working with.

What type of cutting fluid should I use?

Use a cutting fluid specifically designed for metal cutting. Water-soluble or oil-based cutting fluids are common choices. Check the material being cut for fluid recommendations.

How long will a Rotabroach Raptor Cutter last?

The lifespan of the cutter depends on factors like the material, cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting fluid. Proper use and maintenance will extend the cutter's life.

Can I use the cutter on stainless steel?

Yes, the Rotabroach Raptor can be used on stainless steel, but you must use the appropriate cutting speed and cutting fluid for stainless steel.

How do I remove the slug after drilling?

The cutter ejects a solid slug of material upon breakthrough. You can usually remove it by hand, but use caution as the slug may be hot.

What if the cutter breaks?

If the cutter breaks during operation, stop immediately and remove the broken pieces safely. Replace the cutter with a new one.

Where can I purchase replacement cutters?

Rotabroach Raptor Cutters are available from various industrial tool suppliers. Check online retailers and local tool stores.

What is the correct way to store the cutters?

Store the cutters in a clean, dry place to prevent rust and damage. Keep them in a protective case or container.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not cutting effectively.

Check the cutter's sharpness, cutting speed, and feed rate. Replace the cutter if it's dull. Also, ensure you are using the correct cutting fluid.

Holes are not accurate or are out of round.

Check the alignment of the magnetic drill and the work surface. Ensure the cutter is securely mounted and that the material is properly supported.

Cutter is getting stuck in the material.

Reduce the feed rate and increase the cutting fluid. Also, check for any obstructions in the hole.

Excessive vibration during cutting.

Reduce the cutting speed and check the cutter's condition. Ensure the drill is securely mounted, and the material is properly supported.
