Drilling, Turning And Milling Flashcards
Features of drilling
Blind holes can be made (that don’t come out the bottom)
Through holes can be made (that do come out the bottom)
You can use a countersink drill bit to make recesses for flush fitting countersunk screw heads
You can use a counterbore drill bit to make recesses for flush fitting round bolt heads
🔽
For these you’d need a pilot hole first though!
Features of turning
Uses a lathe
Types:
Facing-for making smooth ends Parallel turning- reduces diameter of work piece Taper turning- wide to small gradually Knurling- applies a texture All to "round work pieces"
Features of milling
Slot drill milling plunges into a component to machine slots across
An end mill can machine the side of a work piece to be smooth and square across a component
An end mill can also machine the face of a work piece to be smooth and square across a component
