Often, when performing installation or assembly work, a drilling operation is performed. In some cases, high hole accuracy and finishing are required. For such purposes, power tools are used (screwdrivers, drills, hammer drills, drilling machines), in which the drill plays the role of equipment. A huge range of cutting consumables is presented in Russian stores, they are sold both individually and in sets. Recommendations of our experts will help potential buyers to decide on the choice of a drill.

Drill Selection Guide

Appointment. Depending on the type of material being processed, the design of the drill is selected.

1. Metal blanks are drilled with equipment with two helical cutting edges and a sharpening angle of 100-140 degrees. The softer the metal, the sharper the angle is chosen. For example, it is convenient to drill aluminum or copper blanks with equipment with a sharpening angle of 100-120 degrees, and for hard steel it is better to choose a design with an angle of 130-140 degrees.

2. Wooden products can be processed with different drills, but an accurate and accurate hole is achieved using special equipment. These can be spiral, ring or feather, Lewis or Forstner drills.

3. Concrete and stone are considered the hardest building materials. To make a hole in such bases, an impact drill or puncher is required, as well as drills with a special victorious insert. Particular attention should be paid to the shank. If a tool with a cylindrical tail can be inserted into a household drill, then a drill with protrusions for an SDS chuck is required for a hammer drill.

4. Glass and ceramics are brittle materials; special drills have been developed for their processing. The characteristic features of this equipment are diamond coating of the working part and spear-shaped sharpening.

Shank type. There are several common types of drill shank.

1. Cylindrical designs are typical for household tools. Among the shortcomings is turning in the cartridge with slight jamming. But the assortment of such equipment is the most diverse.

2. Cylindrical shanks with protrusions are made for perforators. Household models are equipped with SDS-plus cartridges, and professional models are equipped with SDS-max cartridges. Less common are SDS-quick and SDS-top cartridges.

3. The hex shank is convenient when using a drill in screwdrivers. This tool is available with 1-jaw chucks or 4/XNUMX-in.

4. The tapered tail of the drill is typical for industrial applications in machine tools. For reliable fixation in the spindle at the end there is a foot or thread.

Manufacturing features. Manufacturers use different materials and technologies in the manufacture of drills.

1. The role of the body material is usually played by high-speed steel. It is indicated either by the letter P (in the marking of Russian manufacturers), or by the abbreviation HSS (typical for foreign brands).

2. Steel can be hardened with alloying additives (cobalt, molybdenum, chromium, etc.), heat treatment or hard coating (titanium nitride, titanium-aluminum-nitride).

3. In some cases, only the working part is hardened. This can be an insert made of wear-resistant material (will win) or a spraying of diamond powder. Such technologies make it possible to reduce the cost of tooling by increasing their operational properties.

4. Ground drills are characterized by minimal runout. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to create a wide range, where the discreteness of drill diameters differs by 0,1 mm.
