OPERATION
Machine Usage
The drilling machine was designed to be used with specific tools and for certain machining
operations.
The most common machining operation is the drilling of holes with helicoidal drills. The drilling of
hole is carried out by the combination of a drill turning movement and a feed movement in the
turning spindle direction.
Besides the helicoidally drill, other tools can be used to drill holes. There is a great variety of drill
types and shapes in the market which can be used on this machine, provided that they are
designed for such a purpose and that can be fixed in the spindle taper. They will usually be the
Morse taper or ISO type. The drill shanks should have the corresponding taper to the spindle in
which they are to be fitted or parallel shank if they are going to be fitted by means of a tool
holder.
Do not ever use tools which were not designed to be used in a drilling machine and that have
been adapted.
A drilling machine can also perform other machining operations a part from the drilling, such as
tapping, reaming, chamfering, punch marking, countersinking, spot facing, to perform such
operations, it is necessary to have appropriate tools, specially designed for this sort of jobs. In
the tapping case, besides using correct tool, the machine has to be provided with such a device
that reverses the turning direction of the tool when it reaches the depth previously fixed.
Drill Protection Guard
The machine is provided with a security drill guard.
Before pressing the starting push button, set the drill guard in
the working position, otherwise the machine controls will not
start.
Important: If the guard is opened when operating
the machine, the machine will stop. DO NOT REMOVE THE
GUARD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
