Used Drills

Drills, drilling machines, or drill presses are used for accurately boring out precisely located holes in metals and other materials. This boring effect is achieved by clamping a bit into the drill chuck and then rotating that tool into the material.  Drills come in various configurations. The Equipment Hub primarily carries two of those configurations; drill presses and radial arm drills. If a shop is looking to do boring or tapping operations on its workpiece, a drill is an ideal machine. We sell CNC and manual used drills from a variety of manufacturers such as Carlton, Powermatic, and Wilton.

    Different Type of Drills and Drilling Machines

    Drilling is a crucial process in many manufacturing and construction industries. It is used to create holes in various materials, including metals, plastics, and wood. There are many types of drilling equipment available, each designed to work with specific drilling applications. In this blog post, we will explore three types of drilling equipment – drill presses, gun drills, and radial arm drills – and their uses.

    Drill Presses

    A drill press, also known as a pedestal drill or floor drill, is a fixed drilling machine that is used to create holes in various materials. It consists of a base, column, and table that support the drill bit and workpiece. The drill bit is held in a chuck and is rotated by a motor. The workpiece is clamped to the table and is positioned under the drill bit.

    Drill presses are versatile machines that are suitable for drilling a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and wood. They are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and construction industries. Drill presses are available in various sizes and can be used to drill both small and large holes. They are also equipped with different speeds to suit different drilling applications.

    Gun Drills

    A gun drill is a type of deep hole drilling machine that is used to create long and deep holes in materials such as metals, plastics, and wood. Gun drills are similar to twist drills, but they are designed with a long and slender shape that allows them to reach deep into a workpiece. They are also equipped with internal coolant systems that help to remove chips and debris from the hole.

    Gun drills are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. They are used to create deep and long holes in parts such as engine blocks, transmission components, and surgical instruments. Gun drills are also used in the production of deep hole drilling in drilling of Oil and Gas wellbores.

    Radial Arm Drills

    A radial arm drill is a type of drilling machine that is used to create holes in large workpieces. It consists of a base, column, and radial arm that support the drill bit and workpiece. The drill bit is held in a chuck and is rotated by a motor. The workpiece is clamped to the table and is positioned under the drill bit. The radial arm can be moved along the column to position the drill bit at different locations on the workpiece.

    Radial arm drills are commonly used in the construction and metalworking industries. They are used to drill large and heavy workpieces such as steel beams, plates, and pipes. Radial arm drills are also equipped with different speeds to suit different drilling applications. They are also equipped with automatic feed systems that help to reduce the effort required to drill a hole.

    Conclusion

    Drill presses, gun drills, and radial arm drills are three types of drilling equipment that are commonly used in various industries. Drill presses are versatile machines that are suitable for drilling a wide range of materials, gun drills are used to create deep and long holes in materials and radial arm drills are commonly used to drill large and heavy workpieces. Each type of drilling equipment is designed to work with specific drilling applications and materials, and it’s important to choose the right equipment for your specific needs to ensure efficient and accurate drilling.
