a drill is around and cutting tool with one or more cutting edges and one or
more straight or he legal flutes
drills with two edges and flutes are by far the most common
drill types include he likley fluted twist drills
may to be their high-speed steel or carbide
and index civil insert drills
which has steel bodies with one to or more carbide inserts
carbide drills are stiffer than high-speed steel drills
so deflection is less
cutting speeds are faster
and holes are more accurate
carbide drills are especially useful in hard or abrasive materials
solid drills of high-speed steel or carbide dominate applications up to
about a five eighths inch or twenty millimeter diameter
spade rails and index a balloon surgery als
cover the larger size ranges
the twist drill is a roughing tooled with to cutting lips
the three essential parts of the twist drill include the shank
the fluids
and the point
the shank is the means by which the drill is held and driven
twist real shanks maybe straight for use in college
and keyed
keyless type drill chucks
shanks may also be tapered for mounting directly into machines bindles or
sleeves which fit in spindles
flutes let coolant into and carry chips out of the whole being produced
both of these functions are essential for the drill point to continue cutting
under the severe conditions of rotating at high speed
in an enclosed space
the helix angle of the drills flutes can vary depended upon the material to be
derailed
a standard helix angle of twenty five to thirty three degrees is optimal for
steel and cast iron
a high helix or fast spiral angle of thirty five to forty degrees
is used for low strength materials like aluminum
and a little helix or slow spiral angle
of fifteen to twenty degrees
is used for drilling brass band of plastics
the drill point which does the work of metal cutting is formed by the to
cutting lips and at the chisel edge
even though drilling is the most common metal cutting operation the majority of
drilling
is not performed on drill presses or other dedicated drilling machines
most dole making is accomplished using ladies
machining centers
high production transfer machines
or almost any machine capable of providing a relative rotation between
the workpiece and cutting tool
the sensitive drill press is a low-power drilling machine used for drilling one
whole of the time in small work pieces
with small diameter twist rails
the many will feed gives the operator of a feel for the operation
which is why this machine is called the sensitive drill press
although this drill press used to be a common device in most shops
it has now largely been replaced by the more versatile in the mail
for most manual low volume whole making operations
the radial drill is used for drilling in large work pieces
it has the flexibility to reach surfaces that cannot otherwise be reached easily
the arm which moves up-and-down
carries an adjustable position drill had
that can be raised
lowered and pivoted around the column
gang drilling machines consist of two or more drilling machines mounted on a
common base or table
often these machines are operated sequentially
with each spindle carrying a different tool
and work pieces move from one spindle to the next
self eating drilling units operate automatically for repetitive work once
the stroke speed thrust in freed have been sent
they can be used for preening tapping or other operations as well as drilling
and can be mounted singly
or in groups
in mass production
most drilling is done with multi spindle machines or drilling units
with anywhere from two
move to ten or more individual drills bengals
rotary motion from a central source is transmitted to the multiple spindles
the layout with the positions and distances sent between the individual
spindles is designed to fit a specific part
n c drill and tap centers
are like a lightweight machining centers dedicated to a whole making rather than
mailing
the tool changer is usually equipped with twelve to twenty tools
allowing multiple operations to be performed on single or multiple holes
