Abstract

There is provided a method for machining a deep hole, which enables prevention of scattering of a coolant and efficient discharge of shavings.The deep hole machining method includes: feeding a spindle to a deep hole machining start position while jetting a coolant toward a workpiece from an external normal pressure coolant supply line; closing the external normal pressure coolant supply line and opening a spindle normal pressure coolant supply line at the start of machining of a deep hole, and machining the deep hole to a predetermined intermediate depth while supplying a coolant to a machining point; and closing the spindle normal pressure coolant supply line and opening a high-pressure coolant supply line when the depth of the hole machined has reached the intermediate depth, and machining the deep hole to the final depth while supplying a high-pressure coolant to a machining point.
