Drilling Question 1:
What is the maximum size of drill can be hold in sensitive drilling machine?
1. 10.0 mm
2. 12.5 mm
3. 15.0 mm
4. 20.0 mm
Option 2 : 12.5 mm
Explanation:
Drilling machine:
The drilling machine is one of the most important machine tools in a workshop and is second to lathe. It was primarily designed to
originate a hole. Drilling machines are made in many different types and sizes, each designed to handle a class of work or specific job
to the best advantage.
The sensitive drilling machine is a small machine designed for drilling a small hole at high speed in light jobs, the base of the machine
may be mounted on a bench or on the floor.
The maximum size of drill that can be held in a sensitive drilling machine is 12.5 mm.
It consists of a vertical column, a horizontal table, a head supporting the motor and driving mechanism, and a vertical spindle for
driving and rotating the drill.
There is no arrangement for any automatic feed of the drill spindle.
The drill is fed into the work by purely hand control. High-speed and hand feed are necessary for drilling small holes.
High speeds are necessary to attain the required cutting speed by a small-diameter drill.
Hand feed permits the operator to feel or sense the progress of the drill into the work so that the drill becomes worn out or jams on any
account, the pressure on the drill may be released immediately to prevent it from breaking.

Drilling Question 2:
1. 10 mm
2. 11 mm
3. 12 mm
4. 13 mm
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 4 : 13 mm
Explanation:
Drilling is the production of cylindrical holes of definite diameters in workpieces by using a multi-point cutting tool called a drill.
Various cutting tools are available for drilling, but the most common is the twist drill.
Almost all drilling operation is done using a twist drill.
It is called a twist drill as it has two or more spiral or helical flutes formed along its length.
The two basic types of twist drills are, parallel shank and taper shank twist drills are available below 13 mm size.
The various parts of a drill can be identified from the figure:
Designation of drill:
In the Indian standard system, twist drills are designated by the series to which they belong, the diameter, the I.S number, and the
material of the drill.
Unless mentioned in the designation, it should presume that the drill type is N and the point angle 118º.
The drills are made in three types, namely,
1. Normal (N)
2. Hard (H)
3. Soft (S).
These designations are based on the material to be cut and the design requirements of the drill.
The maximum size of a parallel shank twist drill is 13 mm.
Thus a parallel shank twist drill of long series, 13 mm dia, conforming to I.S standard, made of carbon steel, of type S and point angle
80º is designated as:
Parallel shank dwell twist drill (Long) 13.00- IS : 599-CS-S80

Drilling Question 3:
What is the point angle of a twist drill for general purpose work?
1. 108°
2. 118°
3. 120°
4. 181°
Option 2 : 118°
Explanation:
Drilling:
Drilling is a cutting process in which a hole is originated by means of a multi-point, fluted, end-cutting tool.
As the drill is rotated and advanced into the workpiece, the material is removed in the form of chips that move along the fluted shank
of the twist drill.
The obtuse angle included between the chisel edge and the lip as viewed from the end of the drill.
The usual value of this angle varies from 120º to 135º.
It is the angle formed between the plane containing the drill axis and the lead edge of the land.
It can be zero, positive or negative.
Higher values are suitable for softer materials and lower values for harder materials.
If the flute is straight, parallel to the drill axis then there would be no rake. if the flute is right handed then it is a positive rake, and if it is
left-handed then the rake is negative.
The usual value of rake angle is 30º although it may vary up to 45º for different materials.
The smaller the rake angle, the greater will be the torque required to drive the drill at a given feed.
Point Angle:
Clearance angle:
The angle formed between the flank and a plane normal to the drill axis, measured at the periphery of the drill.
The angle is measured on the back side of the cutting edge.
Lip clearance is the relief ground to the cutting edges to allow the drill to enter the metal without interference.
The lip clearance angle should increase towards the center of the drill than at the circumference.
This is because different points on the drill cutting edge follow different helical paths.
Any point on the cutting edge at the circumference moves through a smaller helical angle than a point on the cutting edge near the
center.
This happens to be such due to the lead of the helix being the same in each case and hence the clearance angle given to the drill
cutting edge should increase towards the center.
The clearance angle is 12º in most cases. The clearance angle should be minimum to add rigidity and strength to the cutting edge.

Drilling Question 5:
Point angle in drills are kept low for machining ductile materials to take advantage of
1. Thinner chips
2. Thicker chips
Explanation:
The cutting angle is the angle between two lips when it is projected on a plane parallel to the axis.
Simply it is the angle between the lips in the side view of a twist drill.
Normal value of Point angle is 118°.
Both cutting edges are sharpened at the same angle, so each makes an angle of 59° to the center axis.
Point angle in drills are kept low for machining ductile materials to take advantage of Thinner chips.
It is the angle formed by the flank and a plane perpendicular to the axis.
Lip clearance is the relief given to the cutting edges that allow drill to enter into the workpiece without any hindrance.
In general purpose drills, the clearance angle behind the cutting edge is 12°.
Too much clearance angle cause the breaking of the lip of drill due to insufficient support.
Clearance angle should be kept minimum in order to provide enough strength and rigidity to cutting edge.
Too little clearance results drills having little or no cutting edge.
It is the angle included between the chisel edge and lip of the twist drill when measuring on a plane normal to the axis.

2. Equal to 45 degree
3. Between 45 to 60 degree
4. Between 60 to 90 degree
Explanation:
The helix angle is the angle between the leading edge of the land and the axis of the drill. Sometimes it is also called a spiral angle.
1. The helix results in a positive cutting rake. This angle is equivalent to the back rake angle of a single-point cutting tool.
2. The usual range of helix angle used in the drill is 20° to 35°.
3. Large helix angle 45° to 60° suitable for deep holes and softer work materials.
4. The small helix angle of less than 45° is suitable for harder and stronger materials.
5. Zero helix angles are used in spade drills for high production drilling, micro‐drilling, and hard work materials.
Important Points
1. An increase in helix angle is given for more quick removal of chips but a decrease in helix angle will give greater strength of cutting
edges.
2. The larger the value of helix angle lesser will be the power required in drilling.

Match the Machine Tools (Group A) with the probable Operations (Group B):
Group A Group B
Q: Milling 2: Counter-boring
R: Grinding 3: Knurling
S: Drilling 4: Dressing
Explanation:
Milling → Slotting
Grinding → Dressing
Drilling → Counter-boring
Knurling
Knurling is the operation of producing a straight-lined, diamond-shaped pattern or cross lined pattern on a cylindrical external surface by
pressing a tool called knurling tool. Knurling is not a cutting operation but it is a forming operation.
A lathe is used for many operations such as turning, threading, facing, grooving, Knurling, Chamfering, centre drilling
Counter - boring
Counter - boring is an operation of enlarging a hole to a given depth, to house heads of socket heads or cap screws with the help of a
counterbore tool.
Dressing:
When the sharpness of grinding wheel becomes dull because of glazing and loading, dulled grains and chips are removed (crushed or
fallen) with a proper dressing tool to make sharp cutting edges.
The dressing is the operation of cleaning and restoring the sharpness of the wheel face that has become dull or has lost some of its cutting
ability because of loading and glazing.
Slot Milling:
Slot milling is an operation of producing slots like T - slots, plain slots, dovetail slots etc.

1. Plastics
2. Copper
3. Cast steel
4. Carbon steel
Option 1 : Plastics
Explanation :
Helix angle
It is the angle formed by the leading edge of the land with a plane having the axis of the drill.
Its usual value is 30°.
The low-helix drill was developed primarily to drill brass and other thin materials like plastics. Because of its design, the low-helix drill
can remove the larger volume of chips formed by high rates of penetration.
High helix-drills are designed for drilling deep holes in aluminium, copper, die-cast material, and other metals where the chips have a
tendency to jam in a hole. The angles vary between (35° - 45°).

The standard point angle of drill used for drilling wood and fibre is
1. 116° to 118°
2. 130° to 140°
3. 60°
4. 125°
Option 3 : 60°
Explanation:
Drilling:
Drilling is a cutting process in which a hole is originated by means of a multi-point, fluted, end cutting tool.
As the drill is rotated and advanced into the work-piece, the material is removed in the form of chips that move along the fluted shank
of the twist drill.
The point angle is the angle between the cutting edges (lips).
The point angle varies according to the hardness of the material to be drilled.
The point angle is located at the head of the twist drill.
For hard materials such as stainless steel, the point angle should be large and e.g. 130° or 135°.
For soft materials, point angles of 60° are used i.e. for drilling wood and fibre.
With a large point angle, more of the cutting edge engages in the workpiece when drilling.

1. shearing
2. extrusion
Explanation:
Cutting Forces in Drilling:
The removal of material in conventional drilling is accomplished by the two main sharp cutting edges and small chisel edge connecting
them. In a conventional twist drill, the following forces and their components act on the drill at its cutting edges.
1. A pair of tangential forces PT1 and PT2 are equivalent to cutting velocity (V) in turning.
2. A pair of axial force Px1 and Px2 on the main cutting edges.
3. A pair of radial force Py1 and Py2 acts in opposite directions and nullify each other.
4. One additional large feed (axial) force Pxe at the chisel edge.
The tangential component PT1 and PT2 produce the drilling torque T and result in power consumption Pc.
Pc = 2πNT.
In drilling, PxT becomes very large mainly due to the force Pxe acting at the chisel edge. However, any radial or transverse force does not
appear in drilling unless the drill loses its geometry.
Due to the large negative rake angle and negligible small cutting velocity, the chisel edge removes material more by extrusion or
indentation rather than ideal machining i.e. shearing. The pair of tangential force PT1 and PT2 removes material ideally i.e.
shearing.
∴ overall material removal in drilling is said to be done by shearing and extrusion both.

1. Flanks
2. Wedges
3. Flutes
4. Lips
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 4 : Lips
Explanation:
The lips, also known as cutting edges, are the edges formed by the intersection of flanks and faces. They are two in number with
identical length and angle.
Point
The cone-shaped end which does the cutting is called the point; It consists of a dead centre, lips or cutting edges, and a heel.
Shank
This is the driving end of the drill which is fitted on the machine; Shanks are of two types: Taper shank used for larger diameter drills,
and straight shank used for smaller diameter drills
Tang
This is a part of the taper shank drill which fits into the slot of the drilling machine spindle
Body
The portion between the point and the shank is called the body of a drill; The parts of the body are a flute, land/margin, body clearance
and web
Flutes
Flutes are the spiral grooves which run to the length of the drill; The flutes help:
Land/margin:
The land/margin is the narrow strip which extends to the entire length of the flutes; The diameter of the drill is measured across the
land/ margin
Body clearance
Body clearance is the part of the body which is reduced in diameter to cut down the friction between the drill and the drilled hole
Web
The web is the metal column which separates the flutes; It gradually increases in thickness towards the shank
Important Points
The point angle of a general purpose (standard) drill is 118°. This is the angle between the cutting edges (lips). The angle varies according
to the hardness of the material to be drilled.
