Radial Drilling Machine types

Radial Drilling Machine
When it comes to mechanical machining, radial drilling machine is used
for all functions such as drilling, counter boring, spot facing, lapping,
screwing reaming, tapping and boring. Radial drilling machines work
well with a variety of material such as cast iron, steel, plastic etc. Drilling
machines hold a certain diameter of drill (called a chuck) rotates at a
specified rpm (revolutions per minute) allowing the drill to start a hole.
Radial drills are of three types. With the plain radial drill, the drill spindle
is always vertical, and may not swing over any point of the work. The
spindle in the half-universal drill may be swung over any point of the

work and it may swing in one plane at any angle to the vertical up to
complete reversal of the direction of the drill. And the spindle in the fulluniversal drill can be swung in any plane at any angle to the vertical.
The specialty of radial drilling machine is that they are of robust
construction and are designed for heavy duty drilling. The machines need
to have all cast parts of fine close grained grey iron casting machined to
close tolerance. They have to be subject to rigid inspection at all stages of
assembly to ensure accuracy. Superior machines are known for their
Grade 1 accuracy. Radial drilling machines having oil bath gearbox and
hardened gears tend to have a very long life. The rotation and easy sliding
of gears in bearings gives very high reliability. Gears are internally
splined and shafts are externally splined.
The radial drilling machines can have 32 mm 125 mm drilling capacity;
mt-4 spindle nose; head stock is bored on toss imported boring machine;
double column grinded by wmw german-make cylindrical grinders; and
has 2425 standard accuracy. The smt 40/1000 dc radial drilling machines
are useful in almost every tool room as well as maintenance purpose.

Our radial drilling machines have heavy-duty high precision all-geared

drill head with forged steel gears and toughened spindle.
Face milling and keyway milling operations is made easy thanks to the
automatic vertical movement of arms as well as horizontal automatic
movement of main spindle head. Accurate inclined drilling is made
possible with arm lilting at 360 degrees.
A lot of time is expended due to the changing of the position of work on a
machine. In a radial drill machine, the drill table is placed on a solid
foundation for holding very heavy work. When a piece of work is secured
on the drill table, the drill spindle may be placed over any part of the
work without moving the latter.

What is a Radial Drilling Machine?
Radial Drilling machine is a machine fitted with a rotating cutting tool
called drill bit. This radial drilling machine is used for drilling holes in
various materials such as steel, cast iron and. The use of machine is in the
metal working industry.

A Radial Drilling machine is a large gear headed drill press in which the
head moves along the arm that radiates from the column of the machine.
The arm of the machine can swing in relation to the base of the machine.
This swing operation helps the drill head to move out of the way so a
large crane can place the heavy work piece on the base of the radial
drilling machine. Also this helps in drilling holes at different locations of
the work piece without actually moving the work piece.
Power feed of the spindle is a common feature. Also coolant system is a
common feature of the radial drilling machine.
Radial drilling machines can drill holes upto 100 mm and also radial
drilling machines with much larger capacity than this are available today.

Alfa Machines international (www.alfamachines.com) supplies Radial

DRILL
A drill is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or driving tool
attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used for boringholes in various
materials or fastening various materials together with the use of fasteners.
The attachment is gripped by achuck at one end of the drill and rotated
while pressed against the target material. The tip, and sometimes edges,
of the cutting tool does the work of cutting into the target material. This
may be slicing off thin shavings (twist drills or auger bits), grinding off
small particles (oil drilling), crushing and removing pieces of the
workpiece (SDS masonry drill), countersinking, counterboring, or other
operations.

Drills are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, construction

and do-it-yourself projects. Specially designed drills are also used in
medicine, space missions and other applications. Drills are available with
a wide variety of performance characteristics, such as power and
capacity.
Around 35,000 BCE, Homo sapiens discovered the benefits of the
application of rotary tools. This would have rudimentarily consisted of a
pointed rock being spun between the hands to bore a hole through another
material.[1] This led to the hand drill, a smooth stick, that was sometimes
attached to flint point, and was rubbed between the palms. This was used
by many ancient civilizations around the world including the Mayans.[2]
The earliest perforated artifacts, such as bone, ivory, shells and antlers
found, are from the Upper Paleolithic era.[3]

Bow drill (strap-drills) are the first machine drills, as they convert a backand forth motion to a rotary motion, and they can be traced back to
around 10,000 years ago. It was discovered that tying a cord around a
stick, and then attaching the ends of the string to the ends of a stick(a
bow), allowed a user to drill quicker and more efficiently. Mainly used to
create fire, bow-drills were also used in ancient woodwork, stonework
and dentistry. Archeologist discovered a Neolithic grave yard in
Mehrgrath, Pakistan dating from the time of the Harappans, around
7,500-9,000 years ago, containing 9 adult bodies with a total of 11 teeth
that had been drilled.[4] There are hieroglyphs depicting Egyptian
carpenters and bead makers in a tomb at Thebes using bow-drills. The
earliest evidence of these tools being used in Egypt dates back to around
2500 BCE.[5] The usage of bow-drills was widely spread through

Europe, Africa, Asia and North America, during ancient times and is still
used today. Over the years many slight variations of bow and strap drills
have developed for the various uses of either boring through materials or
lighting fires.
The core drill was developed in ancient Egypt by 3000 BC.[6] The pump
drill was invented during Roman times. It consists of a vertical spindle
aligned by a piece of horizontal wood and a flywheel to maintain
accuracy and momentum.[7]
The hollow-borer tip, first used around the 13th century, consisted of a
stick with a tubular shaped piece of metal on the end, such as copper. This
allowed a hole to be drilled while only actually grinding the outer section
of it. This completely separates the inner stone or wood from the rest,
allowing the drill to pulverize less material to create a similarly sized
hole.[8]
While the pump-drill and the bow-drill were used in Western Civilization
to bore smaller holes for a larger part of human history, the Auger was
used to drill larger holes starting sometime between Roman and Medieval
ages.[9] The auger allowed for more torque for larger holes. It is
uncertain when the Brace and Bit was invented; however, the earliest
picture found so far dates from the 15th century.[9] It is a type of hand
crank drill that consists of two parts as seen in the picture. The brace, on
the upper half, is where the user holds and turns it and on the lower part is
the bit. The bit is interchangeable as bits wear down. The auger uses a
rotating helical screw similar to the Archimedean screw-shaped bit that is
common today. The gimlet is also worth mentioning as it is a scaled down
version of an auger.

In the East, churn drills were invented as early as 221 BC during the
Chinese Qin Dynasty,[10] capable of reaching a depth of 1500 m.[6]
Churn drills in ancient China were built of wood and labor-intensive, but
were able to go through solid rock.[11] The churn drill appears in Europe
during the 12th century.[6] In 1835 Isaac Singer is reported to have built a
steam powered churn drill based off the method the Chinese used.[12]
Also worth briefly discussing are the early drill presses; they were
machine tools that derived from bow-drills but were powered by
windmills and water wheels. Drill presses consisted of the powered drills
that could be raised or lowered into a material, allowing for less force by
the user.
The next great advancement in drilling technology, the electric
motor, led to the invention of the electric drill. It is credited to Arthur
James Arnot and William Blanch Brain of Melbourne, Australia who
patented the electric drill in 1889.[13] In 1895, the first portable handheld
drill was created by brothers Wilhem & Carl Fein of Stuttgart, Germany.
In 1917 the first trigger-switch, pistol-grip portable drill was patented by
Black & Decker.[14] This was the start of the modern drill era. Over the
last century the electric drill has been created in a variety of types and
multiple sizes for an assortment of specific uses.

TYPE OF DRILL
There are many types of drills: some are powered manually, others use
electricity (electric drill) or compressed air (pneumatic drill) as the
motive power, and a minority are driven by an internal combustion
engine (for example, earth drilling augers). Drills with a percussive action
(hammer drills) are mostly used in hard materials such as masonry (brick,
concrete and stone) or rock. Drilling rigs are used to bore holes in the
earth to obtain water or oil. Oil wells, water wells, or holes
for geothermal heating are created with large drilling rigs. Some types of
hand-held drills are also used to drive screws and other fasteners. Some
small appliances that have no motor of their own may be drill-powered,
such as small pumps, grinders, etc.

Hand drills
A variety of hand-powered drills have been employed over the centuries.
Here are a few, starting with approximately the oldest:

Bow drill

Brace and bit

Gimlet

Hand drill, also known as an "eggbeater" drill

Breast drill, similar to an "eggbeater" drill, it has a flat chest piece

instead of a handle

Push drill, a tool using a spiral ratchet mechanism

Pin chuck, a small hand-held jeweler's drill

Pistol-grip (corded) drill

Drills with pistol grips are the most common type in use today, and
are available in a huge variety of subtypes. A less common type is the
right-angle drill, a special tool used by tradesmen such as plumbers and
electricians. The motor used in corded drills is often a universal motor
due to its high power.
For much of the 20th century, many attachments could commonly
be purchased to convert corded electric hand drills into a range of other

power tools, such as orbital sanders and power saws, more cheaply than
purchasing conventional, self-contained versions of those tools (the
greatest saving being the lack of an additional electric motor for each
device). As the prices of power tools and suitable electric motors have
fallen, however, such attachments have become much less common. A
similar practice is currently employed for cordless tools where the
battery, the most expensive component, is shared between various
motorised devices, as opposed to a single electric motor being shared
between mechanical attachments.

Hammer drill
The hammer drill is similar to a standard electric drill, with the exception
that it is provided with a hammer action for drilling masonry. The
hammer action may be engaged or disengaged as required. Most electric
hammer drills are rated (input power) at between 600 and 1100 watts. The
efficiency is usually 50-60% i.e. 1000 watts of input is converted into
500-600 watts of output (rotation of the drill and hammering action).

The hammer action is provided by two cam plates that make the
chuck rapidly pulse forward and backward as the drill spins on its axis.
This pulsing (hammering) action is measured in Blows Per Minute
(BPM) with 10,000 or more BPMs being common. Because the
combined mass of the chuck and bit is comparable to that of the body of
the drill, the energy transfer is inefficient and can sometimes make it
difficult for larger bits to penetrate harder materials such as poured
concrete. The operator experiences considerable vibration, and the cams
are generally made from hardened steel to avoid them wearing out
quickly. In practice, drills are restricted to standard masonry bits up to 13
mm (1/2 inch) in diameter. A typical application for a hammer drill is
installing electrical boxes, conduit straps or shelves in concrete.
In contrast to the cam-type hammer drill, a rotary/pneumatic
hammer drill accelerates only the bit. This is accomplished through a
piston design, rather than a spinning cam. Rotary hammers have much
less vibration and penetrate most building materials. They can also be
used as "drill only" or as "hammer only" which extends their usefulness
for tasks such as chipping brick or concrete. Hole drilling progress is
greatly superior to cam-type hammer drills, and these drills are generally
used for holes of 19 mm (3/4 inch) or greater in size. A typical application
for a rotary hammer drill is boring large holes for lag bolts in foundations,
or installing large lead anchors in concrete for handrails or benches.
A standard hammer drill accepts 6 mm (1/4 inch) and 13 mm (1/2
inch) drill bits, while a rotary hammer uses SDS or Spline Shank bits.
These heavy bits are adept at pulverising the masonry and drill into this
hard material with relative ease.

However, there is a big difference in cost. In the UK a cam hammer

typically costs 12 or more, while a rotary/pneumatic costs 35 or more.
In the US a typical hammer drill costs between $70 and $120, and a
rotary hammer between $150 and $500 (depending on bit size). For DIY
use or to drill holes less than 13 mm (1/2 inch) in size, the hammer drill is
most commonly used.

Rotary hammer drill

The rotary hammer drill (also known as a rotary hammer, roto hammer
drill or masonry drill) combines a primary dedicated hammer mechanism
with a separate rotation mechanism, and is used for more substantial
material such as masonry or concrete. Generally, standard chucks and
drills are inadequate and chucks such as SDS and carbide drills that have
been designed to withstand the percussive forces are used. Some styles of

this tool are intended for masonry drilling only and the hammer action
cannot be disengaged. Other styles allow the drill to be used without the
hammer action for normal drilling, or hammering to be used without
rotation for chiselling.

Cordless drills
A cordless drill is an electric drill which uses rechargeable batteries.
These drills are available with similar features to an AC mains-powered
drill. They are available in the hammer drill configuration and most have
a clutch, which aids in driving screws into various substrates while not
damaging them. Also available are right angle drills, which allow a
worker to drive screws in a tight space. While 21st century battery

innovations allow significantly more drilling, large diameter holes

(typically 1225 mm (0.51.0 in) or larger) may drain current cordless
drills quickly.
For continuous use, a worker will have one or more spare battery
packs charging while drilling, and quickly swap them instead of having to
wait an hour or more for recharging, although there are now Rapid
Charge Batteries that can charge in 1015 minutes.
Early cordless drills used interchangeable 7.2 V battery packs.
Over the years battery voltages have increased, with 18 V drills being
most common, but higher voltages are available, such as 24 V, 28 V, and
36 V. This allows these tools to produce as much torque as some corded
drills.
Common battery types of are nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries and
lithium-ion batteries, with each holding about half the market share. NiCd
batteries have been around longer, so they are less expensive (their main
advantage), but have more disadvantages compared to lithium-ion
batteries. NiCd disadvantages are limited life, self-discharging,
environment problems upon disposal, and eventually internally short
circuiting due to dendrite growth. Lithium-ion batteries are becoming
more common because of their short charging time, longer life, absence
of memory effect, and low weight. Instead of charging a tool for an hour
to get 20 minutes of use, 20 minutes of charge can run the tool for an
hour. Lithium-ion batteries also hold a charge for a significantly longer
time than nickel-cadmium batteries, about two years if not used, vs. 1 to 4
months for a nickel-cadmium battery.

Drill press
A drill press (also known as a pedestal drill, pillar drill, or bench drill) is a
fixed style of drill that may be mounted on a stand or bolted to the floor
or workbench. Portable models with a magnetic base grip the steel

workpieces they drill. A drill press consists of a base, column (or pillar),
table, spindle (or quill), and drill head, usually driven by an induction
motor. The head has a set of handles (usually 3) radiating from a central
hub that, when turned, move the spindle and chuck vertically, parallel to
the axis of the column. The table can be adjusted vertically and is
generally moved by a rack and pinion; however, some older models rely
on the operator to lift and reclamp the table in position. The table may
also be offset from the spindle's axis and in some cases rotated to a
position perpendicular to the column. The size of a drill press is typically
measured in terms of swing. Swing is defined as twice the throat distance,
which is the distance from the center of the spindle to the closest edge of
the pillar. For example, a 16-inch (410 mm) drill press has an 8-inch (200
mm) throat distance.

A drill press has a number of advantages over a hand-held drill:

Less effort is required to apply the drill to the workpiece. The

movement of the chuck and spindle is by a lever working on a rack and
pinion, which gives the operator considerable mechanical advantage
The table allows a vise or clamp to be used to position and restrain the
work, making the operation much more secure
The angle of the spindle is fixed relative to the table, allowing
holes to be drilled accurately and consistently
Drill presses are almost always equipped with more powerful
motors compared to hand-held drills. This enables larger drill bits to be
used and also speeds up drilling with smaller bits.
For most drill pressesespecially those meant for woodworking or
home usespeed change is achieved by manually moving a belt across a
stepped pulley arrangement. Some drill presses add a third stepped pulley
to increase the number of available speeds. Modern drill presses can,
however, use a variable-speed motor in conjunction with the steppedpulley system. Medium-duty drill presses such as those used in machine
shop (tool room) applications are equipped with a continuously variable
transmission. This mechanism is based on variable-diameter pulleys
driving a wide, heavy-duty belt. This gives a wide speed range as well as
the ability to change speed while the machine is running. Heavy-duty
drill presses used for metalworking are usually of the gear-head type
described below.
Drill presses are often used for miscellaneous workshop tasks other
than drilling holes. This includes sanding, honing, and polishing. These
tasks can be performed by mounting sanding drums, honing wheels and
various other rotating accessories in the chuck. This can be unsafe in

some cases, as the chuck arbor, which may be retained in the spindle
solely by the friction of a taper fit, may dislodge during operation if the
side loads are too high.

Geared head drill press

A geared head drill press is a drill press in which power transmission

from the motor to the spindle is achieved solely through spur gearing
inside the machine's head. No friction elements (e.g., belts) of any kind
are used, which assures a positive drive at all times and minimizes
maintenance

requirements.

Gear

head

drills

are

intended

for

metalworking applications where the drilling forces are higher and the
desired speed (RPM) is lower than that used for woodworking.
Levers attached to one side of the head are used to select different
gear ratios to change the spindle speed, usually in conjunction with a twoor three-speed motor (this varies with the material). Most machines of
this type are designed to be operated on three-phase electric power and
are generally of more rugged construction than equivalently sized beltdriven units. Virtually all examples have geared racks for adjusting the
table and head position on the column.
Geared head drill presses are commonly found in tool rooms and
other commercial environments where a heavy duty machine capable of
production drilling and quick setup changes is required. In most cases, the
spindle is machined to accept Morse taper tooling for greater flexibility.
Larger geared head drill presses are frequently fitted with power feed on
the quill mechanism, with an arrangement to disengage the feed when a
certain drill depth has been achieved or in the event of excessive travel.
Some gear-head drill presses have the ability to perform tapping
operations without the need for an external tapping attachment. This
feature is commonplace on larger gear head drill presses. A clutch
mechanism drives the tap into the part under power and then backs it out
of the threaded hole once the proper depth is reached. Coolant systems
are also common on these machines to prolong tool life under production
conditions.

Radial arm drill press

A radial arm drill press is a large geared head drill press in which the
head can be moved along an arm that radiates from the machine's column.
As it is possible to swing the arm relative to the machine's base, a radial
arm drill press is able to operate over a large area without having to
reposition the workpiece. This saves considerable time because it is much
faster to reposition the drill head than it is to unclamp, move, and then reclamp the workpiece to the table. The size of work that can be handled
may be considerable, as the arm can swing out of the way of the table,

allowing an overhead crane or derrick to place a bulky workpiece on the

table or base. A vise may be used with a radial arm drill press, but more
often the workpiece is secured directly to the table or base, or is held in a
fixture. Power spindle feed is nearly universal with these machines and
coolant systems are common. Larger size machines often have power
feed motors for elevating or moving the arm. The biggest radial arm drill

presses are able to drill holes as large as four inches (101.6 millimeters)
diameter in solid steel or cast iron. Radial arm drills are specified by the
diameter of the column and the length of the arm. The length of the arm is
usually the same as the maximum throat distance. The Radial Arm Drill
pictured in this article is a 9-inch column x 3-foot arm. The maximum
throat distance of this drill would be approximately 36", giving a swing of
72" (6 feet)..

Mill drill
Mill drills are a lighter alternative to a milling machine. They combine a
drill press (belt driven) with the X/Y coordinate abilities of the milling
machine's table and a locking collet that ensures that the cutting tool will
not fall from the spindle when lateral forces are experienced against the
bit. Although they are light in construction, they have the advantages of
being space-saving and versatile as well as inexpensive, being suitable for
light machining that may otherwise not be affordable.

Accessories
Drills are often used simply as motors to drive a variety of
applications,

in

much

the

same

way

that

tractors

with

generic PTOs are used to power ploughs, mowers, trailers, etc.

Accessories available for drills include:

Screw-driving tips of various kinds - flathead, Philips, etc. for

driving screws in or out

Water pumps

Nibblers for cutting metal sheet

Rotary sanding discs

Rotary polishing discs

Drilling capacity
Drilling capacity indicates the maximum diameter a given power drill or
drill press can produce in a certain material. It is essentially a proxy for
the continuous torque the machine is capable of producing. Typically a
given drill will have its capacity specified for different materials, i.e.,
10mm for steel, 25mm for wood, etc.
For example, the maximum recommended capacities for the DeWalt
DCD790 cordless drill for specific drill bit types and materials are as
follows:

Material

A household drill was used to save a boy's life in Australia.

The boy suffered from potentially fatal bleeding within the brain
after a fall from his bicycle. Lacking any surgical equipment
suitable for the task, the attending doctor decided to use a
household drill stored in the hospital maintenance room in order
to relieve the blood pressure in the boy's brain. If this had not
been done, the boy would have died in minutes. The doctor
performed the procedure and was guided by a neurosurgeon
over the phone. The boy was later airlifted to a larger hospital
and recovered within days.[16]

The 1970s horror movies The Toolbox Murders and The

Wiener depict deranged killers using battery powered drills to
kill their victims.[citation needed]

In

the

video

game Bioshock,

certain

variants

of Big

Daddies use giant arm-mounted drills to perform maintenance

tasks and to kill Splicers that attack Little Sisters.[citation needed]

Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen has used an electric drill
to create an odd effect on the strings. It has been played on
songs such as Poundcake and Intruder/(Oh) Pretty Woman.
[citation needed]

Principal and Working of Drilling

Machine
The rotating edge of the drill exerts a large force on the workpiece and
the hole is generated. The removal of metal in a drilling operation is by
shearing and extrusion.

DRILLING MACHINE SAFETY

Drilling machines are one of the most dangerous hand operated pieces of
equipment in the shop area. Following safety procedures during drilling
operations will help eliminate accidents, loss of time, and materials.
Listed below are safety procedures common to most types of drilling
machines found in the machine shop.

Do not support the workplaces by hand. Use a holding device to

prevent the workpiece from being tom from the operator's hand.
Never make any adjustments while the machine is operating.
Never clean away chips with your hand. Use a brush.
Keep all loose clothing away from turning tools.
Make sure that the cutting tools are running straight before starting
the operation.
Never place tools or equipment on the drilling tables.
Keep all guards in place while operating.
Ease up on the feed as the drill breaks through the work to avoid
damaged tools or workplaces.
Remove all chuck keys and wrenches before operating.

 Always wear eye protection while operating any drilling machines.

Bit Size of Drill Machine

Drill bits are the cutting tools of drilling machines. They can be made in
any size to order, but standards organizations have defined sets of sizes
that are produced routinely by drill bit manufacturers and stocked by
distributors.
In the U.S., fractional inch and gauge drill bit sizes are in common use. In
nearly all other countries, metric drill bit sizes are most common, and all
others are anachronisms or are reserved for dealing with designs from the
US. The British Standards on replacing gauge size drill bits with metric
sizes in the UK was first published in 1959.
A comprehensive table for metric, fractional wire and tapping sizes can
be found at the drill and tap size chart.
