Q

Most twist drills are purchased in sets containing a range of sizes including:

A
  • fractional sizes increasing by 1/32”
  • letter sizes A to Z

  • metric (SI)
35
Q

drills sets containing drills of increasing length as the diameter goes up (smaller diameter drills are shorter and larger diameter drills are longer)

A

JOBBER DRILLS

36
Q

drill set of long twist drills of the same length and different diameters

A

LONG BOY DRILL

37
Q

The disadvantage of LONG BOY DRILLS

A

they tend to whirl/whip when rotated in a drilling machine

38
Q

What is the solution to the downside of LONG BOY DRILLS?

A

use a short JOBBER DRILL at first to predrill a shallow hole. with the machine off, the tip of the LONG BOY DRILL can be inserted into the predrilled hole.

39
Q

Big diameter drills that are shorter than normal, and all of the same length

A

FAT BOY DRILLS

40
Q

Type of shank that allows a set of drills to be held in a moderately sized chuck.

A

STEPPED SHANKS

41
Q

Drills with only one FLUTE, such that the WEB is thicker and stronger.

A

STRAIGHT FLUTE DRILL

42
Q

What are STRAIGHT FLUTES usually made of, making them ideal for cutting hard workpieces?

A

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

43
Q

What is the problem with TWIST DRILLS as a result of their twisted geometry?

A

removing material to create the 2 FLUTES leaves a narrow WEB, which results in a weak drill design.

44
Q

Since the single FLUTE on a STRAIGHT FLUTE DRILL is straight, there is no ________ ______ to assist in the removal of chips.

A

elevator effect

45
Q

What kind of chips come from a STRAIGHT FLUTE DRILL?

A

dust-like discontinuous chips

46
Q

What soft metal is STRAIGHT FLUTE DRILLS sometimes used on?

A

BRASS

47
Q

Because the single FLUTE is not twisted it won’t act like a _____ ______ and grab the workpiece.

A

screw thread

48
Q

What kind of drills are renowned for lifting workpieces out of their clamp/vice restraint?

A

TWIST DRILLS

49
Q

Why are brass hinges drilled with a STRAIGHT FLUTE DRILL instead of a TWIST DRILL?

A

to avoid the grabbing tendency of twist drills, especially given that clamping forces on brass must be kept low to avoid marring.

50
Q

Is a ROUTER DRILL the same as a ROUTER BIT?

A

NO; a router bit is a woodworking cutter

51
Q

A drill with no FLUTES at all, the body is covered with a sharp KNURLED type of pattern.

A

ROUTER DRILL

52
Q

Using a ROUTER DRILL is ideal for drilling composite materials such as:

A
  • carbon-reinforced plastic (CRP)
  • glass-reinforced plastic (GRP)
53
Q

Drills best for HEAVY DUTY drilling of a large diameter hole.

A

SPADE DRILL (metal-working variety)

54
Q

What machine tools are SPADE DRILLS intended to be used on?

A

TAILSTOCK QUILLS
DRILL PRESS SPINDLE

55
Q

What are the parts of a SPADE DRILL?

A
  • body
  • separate CUTTING TOOL INSERT
56
Q

What material is the CUTTING TOOL INSERT usually made from?

A

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE, may be coated

57
Q

A smaller version of the SPADE DRILL, usually one solid pice of material with no removable/replaceable blade.

A

DAGGER DRILL

58
Q

Type of DRILL used on multi-layer composites where TWIST DRILLS would grab and separate the laminations.

A

DAGGER DRILLS

59
Q

What challenges does creating the barrels for FIREARMS present?

A

the bore of a rifle is usually of small diameter but must be long, parallel, and straight.

60
Q

Before drilling technology was available, how were gun barrels made?

A

by building up metal around a MANDREL, which was subsequently withdrawn.

61
Q

How were the MANDRELS used in the making of early gun barrels made?

A

crude casting

62
Q

Having created the MANDREL a __________ could easily wrap strips of red-hot iron around it.

A

Blacksmith

63
Q

The technique only good for making shotguns and muskets because of a lack of rifling grooves and could only withstand BLACK POWDER (gunpowder) and not those generated by modern SMOKELESS POWDER.

A

DAMASCUS METAL

64
Q

Describe the characteristics of shotguns with DAMASCUS METAL BARRELS.

A

decorative swirling pattern

65
Q

DAMASCUS METAL is no longer applied to gun barrels, but it is applied to ___________ _____ ______.

A

collectible knife blades

66
Q

On collectible knife blades, what can be added for more characteristics?

A
  • acid, brings out grain boundaries
  • heat-treated Titanium, adds color
67
Q

What are two ways modern gun barrels can be created?

A
  • COLD HAMMER FORGED (SWAGED)
  • DRILLED (not with a twist drill)
68
Q

How does the HANDEDNESS of a twist drill affect the hole?

A

it will cause a long flexible drill to follow a curved path, which is not desirable for a gun barrel

69
Q

Why is a STRAIGHT FLUTE used for drilling a modern gun barrel?

A

it has no handedness and therefore no tendency to wander

70
Q

A very small diameter drill designed specifically for drilling firearm barrels.

A

GUN DRILL

71
Q

A removable bearing surface to keep the body of the GUN DRILL from rubbing on the bore of the hole

A

WEAR PADS

72
Q

What are WEAR PADS generally made of? Why?

A

bronze because it is a good bearing material (no galling), but also softer than typical barrel materials.

73
Q

The small, replaceable piece that does the cutting on the GUN DRILL.

A

CUTTING TOOL INSERT coated in TUNGSTEN CARBIDE with CHIP BREAKERS built-in

74
Q

Since the GUN DRILL has no TWIST, the chips will not be lifted out of the hole. Why is this a problem?

A

for deep holes, the chips can become clogged, wearing the hole bore unevenly or snapping the drill

77
Q

Supplies lubrication directly to the cutting face deep within the hole

A

CUTTING FLUID/COOLANT
