22.5.9 Core drilling
Core drilling operation is shown in Fig. 22.13. It is a main
operation, which is performed on radial drilling machine for
producing a circular hole, which is deep in the solid metal by
means of revolving tool called drill.
22.6 SIZE OF A DRILLING MACHINE
Different parameters are being considered for different
types of drilling machines to determine their size. The size of
a portable drilling machine is decided by the maximum diameter
of the drill that it can hold. The sensitive and upright drilling

machines are specified by the diameter of the largest workpiece which can be centered under
the drill machine spindle. A radial drilling machine is specified by the length of the arm and
the diameter of the column. To specify a drilling machine completely, following other parameters
may also be needed:
1. Table diameter
2. Number of spindle speeds and feeds available
3. Maximum spindle travel
4. Morse taper number of the drill spindle
5. Power input
6. Net weight of the machine
7. Floor space required, etc.
