Drill Press Tools
Here are some of the Drill Press Tools along with their functions:
Drill presses, also called Drilling machines, cut holes in metal with a twist drill. 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 tool:
Reamer is of modular design with replaceable cutting head, and easy to change while still in the machine tool spindle. The cutting head is located in the holder by a precision made tapered coupling for highest concentricity and repeatability with a radial run-out better than 5µm.
Boring Tool:
A boring tool is usually a modular tool, consisting of a basic holder, adapter and a cutting unit in the form of a cartridge, slide or fine boring unit. The tools, except the reamer, are radially adjustable within a specific diameter range.
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 tool:
A countersinking tool comprises of a holder with at least two removable cutting inserts for countersinking relatively large holes. The holder has a locating recess and a seating surface for each insert, and is cut away at various parts to facilitate the countersinking operation.
Tapping Attachment:
Tapping Attachment is available in various sizes covering tapping capacity from 2 mm to 30 mm. Attachment is suitable to use on every vertical Drilling Machine or Machines with rotating Non-Reversing Spindles.
