Drilling machines have become a common household tool as well as an integral part of industrial operations, manufacturing, and workshops. What are drilling machines? To simply define it, drilling machines are a powerful tool used for cutting a hole into any plastic, metal, wood, of any size. Also known as a drill press, they are used widely in woodworking, metalworking, construction, etc. They perform the tasks with speed and precision without causing any significant damage to the object or piece, which makes this tool so crucial in the engineering field, industrial working, etc. Plane drilling, step drilling, core drilling, boring, counterboring, reaming, countersinking, spot facing, tapping, and trepanning are all functions that can be done on a drilling machine. In this article, we discuss about the types and parts of drilling machines.
Parts of Drilling Machines
A few important parts of the drilling machines are stated below: Base: As the name suggests, the drilling machine’s base is commonly rooted or mounted to the ground to support its weight, and on which the column rests. Column: Located on one side of the base, the column is the vertical part of the machine that supports the arm and drill head as well as a sliding table. Drill head: A feed and driving mechanism mounted on one side of the arm. It has the ability to move up and down. Arm: The drill head and the housing of the driving mechanism are carried by the arm, which is located at the top of the column. Worktable: A column-mounted table that can be moved vertically and horizontally. Feed mechanisms: It includes manual and automatic feeding via an electrical motor. Spindle: Revolving in a fixed position in a sleeve, the spindle holds the drill or cutting tool. Chuck: The drill jig is held in place by the chuck, which is located on the spindle. Next, let’s look at the types of drilling machine.
