Drilling: The Fundamental Process for Creating Holes in Materials

Drilling is one of the most basic yet essential machining operations, focused on creating cylindrical holes in a workpiece using a rotating drill bit. The drill bit features sharp cutting edges at its tip that slice through material as it rotates and is pressed into the workpiece. While simple in concept, drilling requires careful consideration of factors like drill bit material (high-speed steel for general use, carbide for hard materials), cutting speed, and feed rate to avoid tool breakage and ensure clean, accurate holes. Beyond basic hole-making, advanced drilling techniques include countersinking (creating a conical recess for screw heads) and counterboring (creating a flat-bottomed recess for bolt heads). Drilling machines range from handheld drills to heavy-duty drill presses and CNC machining centers, serving industries from woodworking to aerospace.
