Study Notes
- Drilling involves using a rotating cutting tool to create circular holes in solid materials.
- The tool used to make the hole is called a drill bit or twist drill.
- A drilling machine is a power-operated machine tool.
- It secures the drill in its spindle.
- The spindle rotates at high speeds.
- When activated, it moves linearly against the workpiece to produce a hole.
Types of Drilling Machines
- Portable drilling machine
- Bench drilling machine
- Radial drilling machine
- Pillar drilling machine
- Gang drilling machine
- Multiple drilling machine
Bench Drilling Machines
- Light-duty machines used in small workshops.
- Also referred to as sensitive drilling machines due to their accurate and well-balanced spindle.
- Performs drilling operation over materials to produce holes with a diameter between 1 mm to 15 mm.
Bench Drilling Machine Parts
- Vertical main column
- Base
- Moving Drill Head
- Work Table
- Electric Motor
- Variable speed gearbox and spindle feed mechanism
Bench Drilling Machine Working
- The workpiece is clamped rigidly on the work table at the exact marked location.
- Align the spindle axis with the center punch indentation.
- Begins by starting the machine and lowering the drill bit by rotating the feed handle.
- The drill bit makes contact with the material and starts the removal process.
Radial Drilling Machines
- Heavy-duty and versatile, designed for drilling large and heavy workpieces.
- Produces holes up to 7.5 cm.
Radial Drilling Machine Parts
- Heavy Base
- Vertical Column
- Horizontal Arm
- Drilling Head
Radial Drilling Machine Working
- Mark the workpiece and properly mount on the work table.
- Position the drill bit precisely by moving the radial arm to the marked location.
- Start the drill spindle motor to commence drilling.
Drilling Machine Operations
- Reaming
- Boring
- Counter boring
- Counter sinking
- Spot facing
- Tapping
Boring
- Increases the size of an already drilled hole using a drilling machine.
- A smaller hole is initially drilled, then a boring tool is used to enlarge the hole.
Counter Boring
- Enlarges the size of a hole at only one end.
- The cutting tool has a small cylindrical portion called a pilot.
- Optimal cutting speed is about two-thirds of the drilling speed for the same hole.
Reaming
- Refers to smoothing the surface of drilled holes with a tool.
- The tool that performs the smoothing is known as a reamer.
- Begin by drilling a hole slightly smaller in size.
- Replaces drill with a reamer.
- Reduces speed to half that of drilling.
Counter Sinking
- Creates a conical shape at the end of a hole
- Optimal cutting speed is half of the drilling speed for the same hole.
Spot Facing
- Creates of a flat, round surface around a drilled hole.
- Prepares proper seating for bolt head or nut.
- Performed using a special spot-facing tool.
Tapping
- Involves cutting internal threads using a thread tool known as tapping
- Operation make use Tap. Tap is a fluted threaded tool employed for cutting internal threads.
- Proceed at a very low cutting speed.
Radial Drilling Machine Specifications
- Power Capacity: Drilling motor 1.5 hp, elevating motor: 0.5 hp.
- Spindle Speed: 50 to 2800 rpm.
- Arm Length: 600 mm, which allows the drill head to traverse.
- Vertical Movement of the Arm: 500 mm
- Angular Swing of Arm: 360°.
- Drill Bit Reach: 350 mm to 900 mm.
