Drill press
or drilling machine
Machine tool for producing holes in hard substances. The drill is held in a rotating
spindle and is fed into the workpiece, which is usually clamped in a vise supported on a
table. The drill may be gripped in a chuck with three jaws that move radially in unison, or
it may have a tapered shank that fits into a tapered hole in the spindle. Means are
provided for varying the spindle speed and (on some machines) for automatically feeding
the drill into the workpiece
Drilling Machine
a machine for making holes with removal of chips. Drilling machines are used for
drilling, boring, countersinking, reaming, and tapping. Several types are used in
metalworking: vertical drilling machines, horizontal drilling machines, center-drilling
machines, gang drilling machines, multiple-spindle drilling machines, and special-
purpose drilling machines.
Vertical drilling machines are the most widely used in metalworking. They are used to
make holes in relatively small work-pieces in individual and small-lot production; they
are also used in maintenance shops. The tool, such as a drill, countersink, or reamer, is
fastened on a vertical spindle, and the work-piece is secured on the table of the machine.
The axes of the tool and the hole to be drilled are aligned by moving the workpiece.
Programmed control is also used to orient the workpiece and to automate the operation.
Bench-mounted machines, usually of the single-spindle type, are used to make holes up
to 12 mm in diameter, for instance, in instrument-making.
Heavy and large workpieces and workpieces with holes located along a curved edge are
worked on radial drilling machines. Here the axes of the tool and the hole to be drilled are
aligned by moving the spindle relative to the stationary work-piece.
Horizontal drilling machines are usually used to make deep holes, for instance, in axles,
shafts, and gun barrels for firearms and artillery pieces.
3
Center-drilling machines are used to drill centers in the ends of blanks. They are
sometimes equipped with supports that can cut off the blank before centering, and in such
cases they are called center-drilling machines. Gang drilling machines with more than
one drill head are used to produce several holes at one time. Multiple-spindle drilling
machines feature automation of the work process. Such machines can be assembled from
several standardized, self-contained heads with electric motors and reduction gears that
rotate the spindle and feed the head. There are one-, two-, and three-sided multiple-
spindle drilling machines with vertical, horizontal, and inclined spindles for drilling and
tapping. Several dozen such spindles may be mounted on a single machine. Special-
purpose drilling machines, on which a limited range of operations is performed, are
equipped with various automated devices.

Multispindle drilling machine
In these high production machine tools a large number of drills work simultaneously on a
blank through a jig specially made for the particular job. The entire drilling head works
repeatedly using the same jig for batch or lot production of a particular job. Fig. 4.2.8
shows a typical multispindle drilling machine. The rotation of the drills are derived from
the main spindle and the central gear through a number of planetary gears in mesh with
the central gear) and the corresponding flexible shafts. The positions of those parallel
shafts holding the drills are adjusted depending upon the locations of the holes to be
made on the job. Each shaft possesses a telescopic part and two universal joints at its
ends to allow its change in length and orientation respectively for adjustment of location
of the drills of varying size and length. In some heavy duty multispindle drilling
machines, the work-table is raised to give feed motion instead of moving the heavy
drilling head.

The Gundrilling Machine
Specifically designed to provide the optimum conditions for operating the gun drill, the
deep hole drilling machine is equipped with a high pressure pump that delivers lubricant
to the rear of the drill. The drill can be driven by the spindle or held stationary if the
workpiece is being rotated. During drilling, advancement can either be by drill or
workpiece movement.
The gun drill is supported by anti-whip devices along the shank length and at the rear of
the chip box. The chip box contains a chip deflector and a front end bushing which
guides the drill into the workpiece. The chip box also contains escaping chips and
lubricant, which are separated and filtered.
Gundrilling machines come in many variations, from single spindle manual models to
CNC units with multiple spindles of different designs. They can be integrated into
transfer lines or be part of a machining or turning center. Gun drilling is also becoming
popular as a retrofit package for both conventional and CNC machines.
Gun drilling is a process that produces deep, straight holes in a variety of materials. A
gundrill tool differs from a conventional twist drill by its unique head geometry; a
standard gundrill has a single effective cutting edge. Guide pads burnish the hole while
drilling, allowing the hole to maintain straightness. The result of this burnishing activity
is a very round hole with a precision diameter.
6
Gun drilling was initially developed for drilling gun barrels. Armament manufacturing
continues to be a common use of this process. Other common industries include energy,
oil and gas exploration, engines, diesel fuel components, and plastic injection molds.
Learn more, including the history of gun drilling, in our technical article from APMEN
magazine.
Holes deeper than 20:1 generally require a dedicated gundrilling machine to achieve
highest productivity and process reliability.
Gun drilling differs from BTA drilling due to the coolant entry and chip removal.
Gundrills introduce coolant through a small hole within the tool, and chip removal occurs
through a groove outside the tool. BTA drilling has fluid enter through a mechanism
around the tool, while chips are evacuated through the drill itself. BTA drilling becomes
more effective than gundrilling around a 50mm hole diameter.
The drilling operation can also be accomplished in lathe, in which the drill is
held in tailstock and the work is held by the chuck.
7
The most common drill used is the twist drill.
Drilling Machine
The work piece is held stationary ie. Clamped in position and the drill rotates to
make a hole.
Types
1) Based on construction:
Portable,
Sensitive,
Radial,
up-right,
Gang,
Multi-spindle
2) Based on Feed:
Hand driven
Power driven
Spindle
The spindle holds the drill or cutting tools and revolves in a fixed position in a
sleeve.
8
Sleeve
The sleeve or quill assembly does not revolve but may slide in its bearing in a
direction parallel to its axis. When the sleeve carrying the spindle with a cutting tool is
lowered, the cutting tool is fed into the work: and when it’s moved upward, the cutting
tool is withdrawn from the work. Feed pressure applied to the sleeve by hand or power
causes the revolving drill to cut its way into the work a fraction of an mm per revolution.
Column
The column is cylindrical in shape and built rugged and solid. The column
supports the head and the sleeve or quill assembly.
Head
The head of the drilling machine is composed of the sleeve, a spindle, an electric
motor and feed mechanism. The head is bolted to the column.
Worktable
The worktable is supported on an arm mounted to the column. The worktable can
be adjusted vertically to accommodate different heights of work or it can be swung
completely out of the way. It may be tilted up to 90 degree in either direction, to allow
long pieces to be end or angle drilled.
Base
The base of the drilling machine supports the entire machine and when bolted to
the floor, provides for vibration-free operation and best machining accuracy. The top of
the base is similar to the worktable and may be equipped with t- slot for mounting work
too larger for the table.
9
Hand Feed
The hand- feed drilling machines are the simplest and most common type of
drilling machines in use today. These are light duty machine that are operated by the
operator, using a feed handled, so that the operator is able to “feel” the action of the
cutting tool as it cuts through the work piece. These drilling machines can be bench or
floor mounted.
Power feed
The power feed drilling machine are usually larger and heavier than the hand feed
ones they are equipped with the ability to feed the cutting tool in to the work
automatically, at preset depth of cut per revolution of the spindle these machines are used
in maintenance for medium duty work or the work that uses large drills that require
power feed larger work pieces are usually clamped directly to the table or base using t –
bolts and clamps by a small work places are held in a vise. A depth –stop mechanism is
located on the head, near the spindle, to aid in drilling to a precise depth.
This type of drill machine is used for very light works. Fig.1 illustrates the sketch
of sensitive drilling machine.
The vertical column carries a swiveling table the height of which can be adjusted
according to the work piece height.
The table can also be swung to any desired position.
At the top of the column there are two pulleys connected by a belt, one pulley is
mounted on the motor shaft and other on the machine spindle.
Vertical movement to the spindle is given by the feed handle by the operator.
Operator senses the cutting action so sensitive drilling machine.
Drill holes from 1.5 to 15mm

Fig.2 Up-Right Drilling Machine
It the largest and most versatile used for drilling medium to large and heavy work
pieces.
Radial drilling machine belong to power feed type.
The column and radial drilling machine supports the radial arm, drill head and
motor. Fig.3 shows the line sketch of radial drilling machine.
12
The radial arm slides up and down on the column with the help of elevating screw
provided on the side of the column, which is driven by a motor.
The drill head is mounted on the radial arm and moves on the guide ways
provided the radial arm can also be swiveled around the column.
The drill head is equipped with a separate motor to drive the spindle, which
carries the drill bit. A drill head may be moved on the arm manually or by power.
Feed can be either manual or automatic with reversal mechanism.

Drilling:
It is an operation by which holes are produced in solid metal by means of revolving tool
called ‘Drill’. Fig. 9 shows the various operations on drilling machine.
Reaming:
Reaming is accurate way of sizing and finishing the pre-existing hole.
Multi tooth cutting tool. Accuracy of 0.005mm can be achieved
Boring:
Boring is a process of enlarging an existing hole by a single point cutting tool. Boring
operation is often preferred because we can correct hole size, or alignment and can
produce smooth finish. Boring tool is held in the boring bar which has the shank.
Accuracy of 0.005mm can be achieved.

Fig. 9 Various operations on drilling machine
17
Counter Bore :-
This operation uses a pilot to guide the cutting action to accommodate the heads
of bolts. Fig. 10 illustrates the counter boring, countersunk and spot facing processes.
Countersink:-
Special angled cone shaped enlargement at the end of the hole to accommodate
the screws. Cone angles of 60°, 82°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°
18
Tapping:-
Tapping is the process by which internal threads are formed. It is performed either
by hand or by machine. Minor diameter of the thread is drilled and then tapping is done.
Fig. 11 show the tapping processes.

Work Holding Devices
2. Step Blocks
These are built to allow height adjustment for mounting the drilling jobs
and are used with strap clamps and long T-slot bolts.
3. Clamps
These are small, portable vises , which bears against the work piece and
holding devices. Common types of clamps are C-clamp, Parallel clamp, machine
strap clamp, U-clamp etc.. Fig. 14 shows the correct and incorrect methods of
mounting the work piece.

5. Angles
Angle plates are made in a 90°angle with slots and bolt holes for securing
work to the table.
6. Jigs
The jig guides the drill through a bushing to locate and drill holes
accurately.
7. T- Slots Bolt
These are special bolts which has a T shaped head, which slides into the T
slots of drilling machine work table.

Definitions
It’s the peripheral speed of the drill.The cutting speed depends upon the properties
of the material being drilled, drill material, drill diameter, rate of speed, coolant used
etc…
v = *D*N where
D = dia of the drill in m
N = Speed of rotation in rpm
As the depth of hole increases, the chip ejection becomes more difficult and the
fresh cutting fluid is not able to cutting zone. Hence for machining the lengthy hole
special type of drill called ‘gun drill’ is used.
It’s the volume of material removed by the drill per unit time
22
MRR = ( D2 / 4) * f * N mm3 / min
It depends upon the length (l) of the hole to be drilled , to the Speed (N) and feed
(f) of the drill
t = L / f N min
Safety Precautions
Do not support the work piece by hand – use work holding device.
Use brush to clean the chip
No adjustments while the machine is operating
Ensure for the cutting tools running straight before starting the operation.
Never place tools on the drilling table
Avoid loose clothing and protect the eyes.
Ease the feed if drill breaks inside the work piece.
23
Problems
1. Calculate the speed of the drill bit to drill a hole of dia 20mm where the cutting speed
is 25mts/min.
N [rpm] = (π * D *N)/1000
= (25 * 1000) / (π * 20)
= 397.8rpm
2. The dia of one end of a taper plug is 150mm and dia of the other end is 80mm and the
length is 300mm. Calculate its taper.
Taper per mm = (D-d)/L
= (150-80)/ 300
= 0.233mm
3. . The dia of one end of a taper plug is 150mm and dia of the other end is 80mm and the
length is 300mm. Calculate its taper angle.
Tan α/2= (D-d)/2 L
= (150-80)/ 2*300
= 6.65°

WORKING PRINCIPLE
25
The Main eccentric is driven by the drilling machine spindle which is
driven by a single motor. The several drill holding eccentrics are driven by the
main Eccentric through a Revolving plate. Eccentric is a mechanism which is
usually used to convert rotary motion into sliding motion. It shall be noted that an
Eccentric cannot convert reciprocating motion into rotary motion. Here we are
converting the rotary motion into revolutionary motion and in to rotary motion.
(ie) when the main spindle rotates, the rotary motion of the spindle is converted
into revolutionary motion of the Revolving plate.
Through the Main Eccentric and the revolutionary motion of the Revolving
plate is converted into rotary motion of the Drill holding Eccentrics. The
conversion of the motion is achieved by the ECCENTRICITY provided in the
eccentrics. [ECCENTRICITY is 15mm at all the eccentric spindles].
Drill bits can be fed by lowering the Drill head. The pillars provided with
springs guide the Driller head in motion. Springs secure the Drill head with drill
bits, from a rapid fall, while releasing the Drill head from the machine spindle. It
is designed to drill five holes of various diameters in unsymmetrical layouts. The
art of ECCENTRICITY plays a major role in this principle.
APPLICATIONS
In this type of machine number of holes is drilled in the work piece at a time.
This machine is used in mass production. The work pieces drilled in this machine
are as follows:
