1. Bench Drills
• Used for drilling holes through woods, plastics and metals.
• It is normally bolted to a bench so that it cannot be pushed over

2. Pillar Drills
• The Pillar drill is a larger version of the bench drill
• This has a long column which stands on the floor
• Because of its larger size it is able to drill larger pieces of materials and produce larger holes.

3 Hand drills
• These can be either electric, battery or hand operated
• There is a limit to the size drill bit that can be used

4. Safety on the drilling machine
• Follow all teacher instructions carefully.• Always wear safety goggles • Ensure the centre punch mark is under the drill bit• Clamp the materials down or use a machine vice.• Never hold materials by hand while drilling.• Always allow the chippings or swarf to clear the drill
by drilling a small amount at a time.• Reduce pressure when the drill bit is breaking through

Using the pillar or Bench drill
When Drilling, the piece must be held firmly using the following ways:
a) Machine Vice
b) Clamping directly to the table
c) Vice grips etc.

Drill bits• Twist drills are made
from High Speed Steel
• Smaller drill bits have parallel shanks, larger bits have taper shanks
