This document analyzes the process of drilling holes and spot facing a part for a capsule. It identifies two potential failure modes: 1) the spot facing tool breaking due to radial forces or excessive torque, and 2) drill bits breaking due to small diameter. For drill bits breaking, the risk is rated a priority level of high since the broken bit would likely not be detected and could cause nonconforming parts. Prevention controls are not identified.
