Name of The Experiment:: Study and Operation Bench Drilling Machine

The document discusses bench drilling machines and their operation. It describes the basic components of a drill press including the base, column, power head, adjustable head, and spindle. It explains the two main motions in drilling - rotational motion of the cutter and tool feed motion. Key factors that affect drilling include drill size, workpiece material, spindle speed, and feed rate. The document provides examples of cutting speeds and depths for drilling mild steel and includes diagrams of a bench drill press and drill bit.

Name of the Experiment: Study and Operation Bench Drilling Machine

Objectives: To Study the Bench Drilling Machine & Its Operation

Introduction: Drilling is easily the most common machining process. One estimate is that 75% of all
metal-cutting material removed comes from drilling operations. Drilling involves the creation of holes
that are right circular cylinders. Al though drilling appears to be a relatively simple process; it is really a
complex process. Most drilling is done with a tool having two cutting edges. When drilling is used for
enlarging holes it is called counter drilling, and a hole with more than one diameter is cut by one drill it
is called step drilling.

In drilling operation two motions are involved:

1. Rotational motion of the cutter spindle.

2. Tool feed motion

The feed of a drill is the distance it advances in one revolution. The unite of feed is mm/rev. Feed
depend upon the drill size and work piece materials.

Working method:

A common drill press generally consists of a base, column, power head, adjustable head, spindle, and
worktable. On small machines base rests on a bench. The column may be round or box type which
supports the other components. The power head contains an electric motor and means of driving the
spindle in rotation. The adjustable head can be moved up-down according to the depth of the drill. The
heart of any drill machine is its spindle. To drill satisfactorily the spindle must rotate accurately. The
spindle can be fed axially by hand.

Drilling tools- The most common form of metal working drill is the twist drill with helical grooves or
flutes. Those with three or more flutes cannot start holes but can only enlarge holes previously drilled
or cord. They are called core drills. A multicity drill makes holes of two or more diameters as in step
drilling.

Drilling attachments-

Tool holder- chuck is used as the tool holder in drill machines. On drill presses the chuck often
is permanently attached to the machine spindle.

Work holders- drill vise, parallel bars, drill jig, step blocks or, fasteners such as claps and t-bolts,
washers, nuts, etc.

Discussion: The basic work and tool motions required for drilling- relative rotation between the
work pieces and the tool with longitudinal feeding. As these drill presses do not have automatic feed
mechanism a skilled operator must develop his ‘sense of feel’ when feeding the drill into the work
piece. This sense of feel is important because too heavy a may break the drill or damage the work
piece. Too little feed may result in chatter, too much heat, dulling of the cutting tools, and rapid wear
of the drill margins, which ruins the drill. Another important skill is the ability to sense that the drill is
beginning to break through the job. As it happens operator must reduce his pressure on the down
feed, thus permitting the drill to cut its way freely and smoothly through the hole.

IN our workshop we drilled a mild steel work piece.

Conclusion: In manufacturing it is probable that more holes are produced than any other
shape and a large proportion of these are made by drilling. Of all machining process
performed drilling makes up the major part. In recent years newer drilling machines are
included for making much more finished and delicate surfaces for different sophisticated
accessories of modern machines. So it is the need of time to be efficient using drilling
machines with proper safety.
