Drilling Machine Operations

  • Drilling
  • Reaming (sizing/finishing a previously drilled hole)
  • Boring (enlarging a hole utilizing an adjustable cutting tool with only one cutting edge; used when a suitable drill size is not available)
  • Counterboring (enlarges the end of a hole cylindrically, forming a square shoulder with the original hole)
  • Countersinking (creates a cone-shaped enlargement on the end of a hole to accept a flat-head screw)
  • Spot facing (machining a flat circular surface around a hole, creating a seat for bolt heads, nuts, or washers; spot face cutter similar to a counterbore, but with teeth only on the end)
  • Tapping (creates threads in a metal using special tools)

Drilling Operation

  • Drilling is enlarging/creating holes in a workpiece using a rotating drill tool.

Reaming

  • Reaming is sizing and finishing a hole that has previously been drilled.
  • Reaming tools have multiple cutting edges.

Boring

  • Boring is enlarging a hole using an adjustable cutting tool with a single cutting edge.
  • Used when a suitable drill size is not available

Counterboring

  • Counterboring enlarges the end of a hole cylindrically, forming a square shoulder with the original hole. This is done with a counterbore.

Countersinking

  • Countersinking creates a cone-shaped enlargement on the end of a hole to accept a flat-head screw. This is done with a countersink.

Spotfacing

  • Spotfacing is machining a flat circular surface around a hole, creating a seat for bolt heads, nuts, or washers
  • Spot face cutter is similar to a counterbore, but has teeth only on the end.

Tapping

  • Tapping creates threads in a metal using special tools.

Tap & Tap Wrench

  • Tools for creating threads

Exercise 2: Step Fitting & Drilling Job

  • Interpret a part drawing and fabricate it from the provided aluminum plate
  • Appropriate fitting tools and drilling are needed.
  • Sample part dimensions provided (in mm)
