Tüübimine

Tüübimine is a term used in Estonian to describe the process of drilling or boring holes, typically in solid materials like wood, metal, or plastic. This mechanical operation involves the use of a rotating cutting tool, known as a drill bit, which is advanced into the workpiece to create a cylindrical aperture. The size and depth of the hole are determined by the diameter of the drill bit and the duration or extent of the drilling process.

The act of tüübimine is fundamental in various fields, including construction, manufacturing, woodworking, and metalworking. It is essential for tasks such as assembling components, creating access points, fitting fasteners like screws or bolts, and preparing materials for further processing. Different types of drills and drill bits are employed depending on the material being worked on and the specific requirements of the hole, such as precision, smoothness of the bore, or the need for specific shapes.

The process generates chips or shavings of the material, which are removed by the flutes of the drill bit as it rotates. Proper technique and appropriate tooling are crucial to achieve accurate results, prevent damage to the material, and ensure safety. Lubrication or coolant may be used in some applications, particularly when drilling hard metals, to reduce friction, heat, and wear on the drill bit.
