How To Machine With A Drill Press?
|
Drilling machines, also called drill presses, cut holes in metal with a twist drill. Despite the fact that drill press is designed mostly for poking holes in sheet metal, it has many uses in a woodshop. It's a mortiser, a spindle sander; it bores huge holes, and -- of course -- drills holes at perfect right angles to the table. They also use a variety of other cutting tools to perform the following basic hole-machining operations: (1) reaming, (2) boring, (3) counterboring, (4) countersinking, and (5) tapping internal threads with the use of a tapping attachment.

Reaming:
Reamer is of modular design with replaceable cutting head, and easy to change while still in the machine tool spindle.
Boring:
Basically the main function of a drill press is to make holes on wood and metal surfaces. Holes are made by using drill bits of various sizes and diameters.
Counterboring:
A drill press can also be used as a counterboring tool. A counterboring tool includes a central body, a proximal mounting flange and a distal end, longitudinal lands and straight flutes between the lands.
Countersinking:
A countersinking tool comprises of a holder with at least two removable cutting inserts for countersinking relatively large holes
Tapping Internal Threads:
A Tapping Attachment in various sizes is used for tapping internal threads with capacity from 2 mm to 30 mm. Attachment is suitable to use on every vertical Drilling Machine or Machines with rotating Non-Reversing Spindles. |
