Today, I will be introducing the Bench Drilling Machine.
A Bench Drilling Machine is a fixed style of drill that may be mounted on a stand or bolted to the floor. A Bench Drilling Machine consists of a base, column, table, spindle and a drill head, usually driven by an induction motor. The head has a set of handles radiating from a central hub that, when turned, move the spindle and chuck vertically, parallel to the axis of the column. The table can be adjusted vertically and is generally moved by a rack and pinion. The table may also be offset from the spindle’s axis and in some cases rotated to a position perpendicular to the column. Speed change is achieved by manually moving a belt across a stepped pulley arrangement. I should end it here. Now did all of you have a clearer idea of how the Bench Drilling Machine works? I will be introducing the Buffing Machine in the next post.
