General Purpose
Machine Tools
• Hand drills
Unlike the grouted stationary drilling machines, the hand drill is a
portable drilling device which is mostly held in hand and used at the
locations where holes have to be drilled as shown in Fig. 4.2.5. The
small and reasonably light hand drills are run by a high speed electric
motor. In fire hazardous areas the drill is often rotated by compressed
air.
• Feed motion
The taper shank drills are fitted into the taper hole of the spindle
either directly or through taper socket(s). Small straight shank drills
are fitted through a drill chuck having taper shank. The workpiece is
kept rigidly fixed on the bed (of the table). Small jobs are generally
held in vice and large or odd shaped jobs are directly mounted on
the bed by clamping tools using the T-slots made in the top and side
surfaces of the bed as indicated in Fig. 4.2.10.

• According to material :
Δ High speed steel – most common
Δ Cemented carbides
- Without or with coating
- In the form of brazed, clamped or solid
• According to size
Δ Large twist drills of diameter around 40 mm
Δ Microdrills of diameter 25 to 500 μm
Δ Medium range (most widely used) diameter ranges
between 3 mm to 25 mm.
• According to shank
Δ Straight shank – small size drill being held in drill chuck
Δ Taper shank – medium to large size drills being fitted into
the spindle nose directly or through taper sockets

Δ Half round drill, gun drill and crank shaft drill (for making
oil holes) – shown in Fig. 4.2.13
Δ Ejector drill for high speed drilling of large diameter holes
Δ Taper drill for batch production
Δ Trepanning tool (Fig. 4.2.14) : for large holes in soft
materials
Besides making holes, drilling machines may be used for various other
functions using suitable cutting tools.
