Introduction

 Drilling is a metal cutting process carried out by a rotating

cutting tool to make circular holes in solid materials.
 Tool which makes hole is called as drill bit or twist drill.
 3

Drilling machine

 A power operated machine tool which holds the drill in its

spindle rotating at high speeds and when actuated move
linearly against the work piece produces a hole.
 4

Working Principle:

A spindle which turns the tool (called drill) which can be

advanced in the workpiece either automatically or by hand
The rotating edge of the drill exerts a large force on the work
piece and the hole Is generated . The removal of metal of metal
in a drilling Operation is by shearing and exturtion.
 Classification Of Drilling
5

Machines:

1.General purpose Drilling Machines of common use:

i. Table top Small sensitive Drilling machine:
*These are small size vertical single spindle drilling machines.
*These are operated manually.

machine
 6

Bench drilling machine

 These are light duty machines used in small workshops.

 Also called Sensitive drilling machines because of its accurate
and well balanced spindle.
 Holes of diameter 1 mm to 15 mm.

Parts:

 Vertical main column

 Base
 Moving drill head
 Work table
 Electric motor
 Variable speed gear box
and spindle feed
mechanism.

working

 Work piece with the exact location marked

on it with the centre punch is clamped rigidly
on the work table.
 spindle axis and center punch indentation
are in same line.
 Machine is started and drill bit is lowered by
rotating feed handle.
 Drill bit touches the work and starts removing
material.

Radial drilling machine

 These are heavy duty and versatile drilling machine used to

perform drilling operate on large and heavy work piece.
 Holes up to 7.5 cm.

working

 Work piece is marked for exact location and mounted on the

work table.
 Drill bit is then located by moving the radial arm and drill to the
marked location.
 By starting drill spindle motor holes are drilled.
Specification of a radial
15

drilling machine

 Power capacity eg: 1.5 hp

for drilling motor and 0.5 hp
for elevating motor.
 The range of speed of
spindle eg: 50 to 2800 rpm.

 ii.General purpose drilling machines with more specific use:

 A. Hand drills: unlike the grounted stationary drilling machine,the hand
drill is a portable drilling device which is mostly held in hand and used at
the locations Where Holes have to be drilled as shown in figure.
 17

 B.Gang Drilling machine: In this almost single purpose and more

productive machines a number of spindles with drills in a row are
made to produce number of holes progressively or simultaneously.
 18

 C.Turret Drilling machine: They are structurely rigid coloumn

type but are more productive like gang drill by having a
petagon or hexagon turret as shown in figure.
