Q

types of holes

A
  • through holes: open on both sides
  • blind holes: open on one side
  • countersink: conical entrance to help inserting a piece
  • Counterbore: useful for fixing

Q

twist drill: characteristics

A
  • 2 helics
  • helicoidal flutes allow the chip removal
  • possible cutting fluid inside the drill
  • diameter of the body smaller than the extremity to reduce friction
  • web: no cutting speed near the center, so a web is used instead of a cutter to increase the robustness of the tool

Q

basic rules to obtain a good holeq

A
  1. generate a flat entrance for the drill, to avoid bending

2. possibly, drill the hole in many passes, increasing the diameter of the drill

Q

tapping operation

A

a particular shape of the drill defined the internal shape of the hole

to maintain the internal surface, at the end of the hole the drill stops and restarts in the opposite direction to exit

Q

cutting forces in drilling

A
  • forces due to chip formation, perpendicular to the cutting edge
  • forces due to friction on flank faces
  • force on the web due to the feed
