Study Notes
Types of Twist Drills
- Long Series Parallel Shank Twist Drill: useful for deeper holes or extended reach applications, has two helical flutes with a parallel shank approximately the same diameter as the cutting end.
- Taper Shank Twist Drill: has two helical flutes with a tapered shank for holding and driving the drill.
- Taper Shank Core Drill (Three or Four Fluted): designed for enlarging cored, punched, or drilled holes, cannot originate a hole in solid material, cutting action similar to a rose reamer, used as a rough reamer.
- Oil Tube Drill: used for drilling deep holes, oil tubes run lengthwise spirally through the body and carry the oil directly to the cutting edges.
- Centre Drills: straight shank, two fluted twist drills used when centre holes are drilled on the ends of a shaft.
Characteristics of Twist Drills
- Point angle of a general-purpose drill: 118 °, can be increased or decreased depending on the material it has to cut.
- Twist drill is an end cutting tool, formed by twisting a flat piece of tool steel longitudinally for several revolutions, then grinding the diameter and point.
Applications of Drill Bits
- Drill bits are manufactured to drill holes in different materials: wood, metal, plastic, ceramic tile, porcelain, concrete.
- Drill bits are available to suit characteristics of various types of metals: steel, aluminium, copper, cast iron, sheet metal.
Material Used in Drill Bits
- One-piece construction: high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide drill bits.
- Carbide materials: carbide steel (carbon steel), carbide tungsten, carborundum (carbon silicon), hard like diamond.
- Two-piece construction: cutting portion made of high-speed steel, and shank.
Types of Drill Bits
- Hole Saw: includes a built-in shank rather than a pilot bit, can make holes in both wood and metal.
- Bi-metal hole saw: can make holes in both wood and metal.
Classification of Twist Drills
- Classified according to the type of shank: straight or parallel shank, and taper shank.
- Further sub-classification can be done according to the length of the flute and overall length of the drill.
- Sub-series parallel shank twist drill: shortened type of parallel shank twist drill, with shortening occurring on the flute length, suitable for drilling in confined spaces or when a shorter flute length is required.
