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.
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.
Types of drilling machine
Portable drilling machine
Bench drilling machine
Radial drilling machine
Pillar drilling machine
Gang drilling machine
Multiple drilling machine
Portable drilling machine
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.
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.

Counter sinking
Spot facing
Tapping
Reaming
It is a process of smoothing
the surface of drilled holes
with a tool.
Tool is called as reamer.
Initially a hole is drilled
slightly smaller in size.
Drill is replaced by reamer.
Speed is reduced to half
that of the drilling.
Boring
It is process carried
on a drilling machine
to increase the size
of an already drilled
hole.
Initially a hole is
drilled to the nearest
size and using a
boring tool the size
of the hole is
increased.
Counter boring
This process involves
increasing the size of a
hole at only one end.
Cutting tool will have a
small cylindrical portion
called pilot.
Cutting speed = two-
thirds of the drilling
speed for the same hole.
Counter sinking
This is an operation of
making the end of a hole
into a conical shape.
Cutting speed = half of
the cutting speed of
drilling for same hole.
Spot facing
It is a finishing operation to
produce flat round surface
usually around a drilled hole,
for proper seating of bolt head
or nut.
It is done using a special spot
facing tool.
Tapping
Process of cutting
internal threads with a
thread tool called as
tap.
Tap is a fluted threaded
tool used for cutting
internal thread
Cutting speed is very
slow.
