What to do if there is excessive wear of segments on my GÖLZ KB 200 Drill?

Excessive wear of segments in your GÖLZ Drill can be caused by several factors. If you are using soft bonded segments, switch to segments one class harder bonded, or increase the RPM and reduce the feed compression. If the segments are too narrow, use a drill bit with wider segments or reduce feed. If the RPM is too low, shift to a higher gear. If the drill bit is deformed or out of true, change the drill bit and bring the worn drill bit for rebalancing. Also check the drill stem and adjust or replace it. If you're working with abrasive material, use segments one class harder bonded and increase the water flow and the speed. If there's poor water flow, increase it to remove abrasive slurry around segments.
