Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This study focuses on improving surgical precision by examining top surface deviation and hole path during drilling across various inclination angles and spindle speeds. By analyzing these geometric outcomes, the study aims to better understand tool deviation and its relationship to drilling forces. A clearer understanding of how these factors influence hole trajectory and entry conditions directly impacts screw hole quality. Ultimately, improving control over top surface deviation and hole path can lead to more accurate drilling and better surgical outcomes.
