DRILL PRESS
- The drill press provides a number of advantages over a hand-held drill, with
precision being the most important. Due to its design, it will drill holes that are the
same size, depth, and position as many times as you need, at perfect angles to the
workpiece (often 90 degrees). Drill presses can be used for more than just drilling
holes; they can also be used to enlarge holes with a boring tool or to reamer holes
that have already been drilled. They can create threads in a hole using a tap and a
special tapping attachment.

TYPES OF DRILL PRESS


 Bench Drill Press  Multi-spindle Drilling Machine
 Pillar or Column Drilling Machine  Turret-head Drilling Machine
 Horizontal Drill Press  Mill Drill Machine
 Radial Drill Press  Magnetic Drill Press
 Gang Drilling Machine  CNC Drill

Drilling Operations
1. Spot drilling
- A technique used to put boreholes precisely is called spot drilling. This shallow
hole was made in the workpiece by the spot drill, which was used to precisely put
the hole. By pre-chamfering the hole, a spot drill bit makes subsequent drilling
operations easier.
2. Drilling
- The first interaction between the formation and the foreign fluids and machinery
occurs during the drilling process. Drilling fluids are essential to the drilling
process because they cool the drilling bit, lift up the cuttings, lubricate the bottom-
hole assembly, and create impermeable filter cakes.
3. Counterboring
- To provide room for the screw head, a hole must be counterbored larger than it
was originally. Although the two names are frequently used interchangeably, there
are a few minor distinctions. The bottom of the drilled hole is where the main
distinction can be seen.
4. Countersinking
- A V-shaped edge is produced by the countersinking process close to the hole's
surface. It is frequently employed to remove burrs from drilled or tapped holes or
to let the countersunk-head screw's head to rest flush with or below a surface.
Countersinks are frequently produced by CNC milling using chamfering endmills.
5. Reaming
- Reaming is a type of machining where a rotary multiflued cutting tool is used to
make a light cut to increase the accuracy of a round hole and enlarge an existing
hole to the tool's diameter.
6. Tapping
- Cutting a thread within a hole to allow for the threading of a cap screw or bolt is
known as tapping. Also, it is used to produce thread on nuts. On the lathe, tapping
can be done manually or with a power feed.

7. Step drill
- Step drills are made to complete two tasks in one motion. They are employed to
drill holes with chamfers, counterbores, and countersinks. They are easily
adaptable for a certain step length and may be quickly re-sharpened. Step drills are
offered in Jobber or Taper length.
8. Boring
- As in boring a cannon barrel or an engine cylinder, boring is the process of
widening a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) with a single-point cutting
tool (or a boring head comprising several such tools).
