Drilling Machines Unit 53 Metalwork Technology and Practice
Drill Press • Defined: A machine that holds and turns a drill to cut holes in metal • Drill: A tooling device used for cutting holes.
Drill Press Safety (I) • Remove Jewelry and eliminate loose clothing. • Wear eye protection. • Be sure the key is removed before turning on the machine. • Turn off the power if work gets caught in the drill. • Adjust the depth stop to avoid drilling into the table.
Drill Press Safety (II) • Select the proper speed, faster for wood and slower for metal. The larger the bit, the slower the speed. • Work should always be secured with a fastening device. • The right hand operates the feed wheel and the left hand should always be in the secure position.
Portable Electric and Cordless Drill Safety • Be sure the electric drill is disconnected from the power source before installing bits. • Make sure the bit is sharpened before use. • Make sure the chuck key has been removed before starting the drill • Secure all work before drilling. • Use a center punch to mark a starter hole.
