1. Drilling machine

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

5. Portable drilling machine

6. 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.

9. 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.

11. 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.

15. 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.

16. Drill Bit A drill bit is a multi-point tool and typically has a pointed end. A twist drill is the most common type used

17. Drill Materials The two most common types are 1. HSS drill - Low cost 2. Carbide- tipped drills - high production and in CNC machines Other types are Solid Carbide drill, TiN coated drills, carbide coated masonry drills, parabolic drills, split point drill

18. Drill Bit The twist drill or drill bit is made from High Speed Steel, tempered to give maximum hardness throughout the parallel cutting portion. Flutes are incorporated to carry away the chips of metal and the outside surface is relieved to produce a cutting edge along the leading side of each flute.

19. Twist drill Twist drills are available with parallel shanks up to 16mm diameter and with taper shanks up to 100mm diameter and are made from high-speed steel. Standard lengths are known as jobber-series twist drills, short drills are known as stub series, and long drills as long series and extra long series. Different helix angles are available for drilling a range of materials

24. Drill Bit Features The point of the drill is ground to an angle of 118 degrees each side is ground back to give " relief " of about 12 degrees to each cutting edge as shown

25. The nomenclature of the twist drill is shown

26. Work Holding Devices

27. Tool Holding parallel shank drill Drills and similar tools with parallel shanks are held in a drill chuck. By rotating the outer sleeve, the jaws can be opened and closed. To ensure maximum grip, the chuck should be tightened using the correct size of chuck key. This prevents the drill from spinning during use and chewing up the drill shank. Drill bit is only gripped by the shank

28. The Drill Chuck Chuck Morse Taper Chuck Key Keyless Chuck

29. Tool Holding The chuck is fitted with a Morse-taper shank which fits into a corresponding Morse taper in the spindle. The size of Morse taper is identified from smallest to largest by the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The included angle of each taper is different but is very small, being in the region of 3 degrees. If the two mating tapered surfaces are clean and in good condition, this shallow taper is sufficient to provide a drive between the two surfaces. At the end of the taper shank, two fiats are machined, leaving a portion known as the tang. This tang fits in a slot on the inside of the spindle and its main purpose is for the removal of the shank. Drills are also available with Morse-taper shanks which fit directly into the spindle without the need for a chuck.

30. Tool Holding Holding taper shank drills

31. Tool Holding Where a cutting tool or chuck has a Morse taper smaller than that of the spindle, the difference is made up by using a sleeve. Morse Taper Sleeve For example, a drill with a No. 1 Morse-taper shank to be fitted in a spindle with a No. 2 Morse taper would require a 1—2 sleeve.

34. Operations in drilling machine

35. 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.

36. Reaming

37. 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.

38. 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.

39. 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.

40. Counter sinking

41. 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.

42. Spot facing

43. 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.

45. Specification of a radial drilling machine Power capacity eg: 1.5 hp for drilling motor and 0.5 hp for elevating motor. The range of speed of spindle eg: 50 to 2800 rpm.

46. Specification of a radial drilling machine Length of arm on which drill head can traverse. eg: 600 mm. Vertical movement of the arm eg: 500 mm. Angular swing of arm eg: 360˚

47. Specification of a radial drilling machine Range to which drill bit can reach eg: 350 mm to 900 mm. Drill depth eg: 32 mm for steel.
