Drilling Machine
Machine tool for producing holes in hard substances. The drill is held in a rotating
spindle and is fed into the workpiece, which is usually clamped in a vise supported on a
table. The drill may be gripped in a chuck with three jaws that move radially in unison, or it
may have a tapered shank that fits into a tapered hole in the spindle. Means are provided for
varying the spindle speed and (on some machines) for automatically feeding the drill into the
workpiece. See also boring machine.

Use these basic directions for operating a drill press. Keep safety in mind whenever you
are working with machinery.
A drill press can drill through metal, wood and plastic with the right drill bits. Here is
how you will set up and use the machine.

Step 1 Don Safety Gear

You will need ear protection and eye protection. You will also find it safer to wear long
sleeves and pants. Debris does fall from the bench drill press and can get onto and irritate
your skin.

Step 2 Mark Your Material

In order to know how to properly operate your bench drill press, you will need to have a mark
that you want to hit. Use a marker to mark your scrap wood in three places. You will need to
practice with different bits and different depths in order to know how to use your machine.

Step 3 Clamp It and Align It

Many drill presses come with a vise attached to the table. If yours does not have a vise, you
can easily install one if you so choose. The vise keeps your material in place so you can focus
on the drill. If your bench drill press does not have a vise, a clamp on the edge of your work
bench will likely suffice. Make sure that you use the manual lever to align the material. It will
do no good to clamp the wood five inches away from where you need the hole.

Step 4 Choose the Bit

You will want to choose and install the best bit for the job. This means choosing a bit that is
the right size as well as choosing one that was meant for the material you are working with.
For instance, you need different bits for wood and metal. Loosen the chuck with the chuck
key and install the correct bit. You can complete this step at any time before you actually start
to drill.

Step 5 Set the Depth Stop

Use the depth stop to set the proper depth for the hole. Many holes go all the way through the
material so the depth stop will not be an issue. The depth stop is located on the right side of
the bench drill press, directly next to the manual lever.

Step 6 Drill It
Turn the bench drill press on and bring it to the speed that you wish to drill at. If you are
unsure, start with a medium drill speed and adjust from there. Use the manual pull and slowly
bring the bit down to meet the wood. You do not want to without being at speed or the hole
may be jagged.
