Introduction
Drill is a tool used for making round holes or driving fasteners. It is fitted with a
bit, either a drill or driver chuck. with hand-operated types dramatically
decreasing in popularity and cordless battery-powered one’s proliferating. Drills
are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, construction, machine
tool fabrication, construction and utility projects. Specially designed versions
are made for miniature applications.
Drilling machine is one of the frequently used machines on daily basis. The
functionality of this machine made it usable even in many houses. The need of
creating a hole to put a frame on the wall, the need of creating a hole to fixate a
library, a TV, the need of creating a hole to join two furniture together; all of
this require drills at home. Drills are also one of the most crucial machines in
the Workshops, to assemble 2 parts, to create multi holes for many needs, the
use of fixating parts needs holes and fasteners. But fundamentally Drills are the
number one need.
Drills can be found with different types, such as:
1- Bench-type drilling machine
2- Upright drilling machine
3- Radial drilling machine

Section I
Requirement (1): What are the main specifications of the upright drill and the
radial drill used in the workshop?
A- Upright drill:
Upright drills are one of the most common
machines found in the machine shop. The upright
drill is a machine that turns and advances a rotary
tool into a workpiece. The upright drill is used
primarily for drilling holes, but when used with the
proper tooling, it can be used for a number of
machining operations. The most common
machining operations performed on an upright drill
are drilling, reaming, tapping, counterboring,
countersinking, and spot facing.

B- Radial Drill:
Radial arm drill machines are an ideal solution
for drilling precise holes of different sizes and
depths in large pieces that cannot be moved to
achieve drilling. This technology is perfect for
drilling, boring, reaming, tapping and
counterboring very large and heavy parts of
different metrologies.

Section II
Requirement (2): Explain by neat sketch how a taper-shank tool is released
from the drill machine spindle.
First bring your safety equipment as goggles and gloves. Then to remove the
taper-shank first we use the Drift, this Drift goes through the shank and touches
the Tang, then we strike the Drift against the Tang by hand or a hammer or any
other tool. The Tang repels the machine spindle out and the twist drill can be
grabbed out of the chuck with the other hand.
1st Operation: Determine the exact position of the hole and mark it using a
marker
2nd Operation: Create a small crater in the workpiece to prevent the drill from
skewing or moving when it touches the workpiece.

3rd Operation: Operate the machine motor and fixate the workpiece in place
using the T-slots in the table. The drill should be revolving with 630 rpm and
feed 0.06 rev/mm.
4th Operation: The drill is descended to create the hole, it is descended 55mm
5th Operation: A different drill bit is now used to create the inner chamfer of the
workpiece. This drill bit is descended 5 mm. To create the final shape desired.
Note: Constantly make sure that there’s cold water to decrease the temperature
of the machined part. Then after finishing clean from the chips.

Requirement (4): Estimate the machining time for the tapping operation shown
if the cutting velocity is equal to 0.1 m/s:
