boremaskine

A boremaskine, commonly translated as drilling machine, is a machine tool designed to create round holes in a workpiece. It uses a rotating drill bit pressed into the material to remove material by cutting. Drilling machines are used in metalworking, woodworking, construction, and manufacturing, and range from handheld devices to large, stationary machines.

Common types include handheld electric drills, cordless drills, and stationary drill presses. More specialized forms include pillar or column drills, radial drills, and magnetic base drilling machines for metalworking. Some are designed for tapping or countersinking as well as drilling through holes.

Key components include the motor, chuck to hold the drill bit, spindle or quill, and a feed mechanism to advance the bit. A worktable or vise provides support and alignment. Variable speed control allows different materials and bit sizes to be used. Depth stop, coolant systems, and robotic or CNC control may be included in more advanced equipment.

Operation requires clamping the workpiece, selecting the appropriate bit, and using proper feed and speed. Safety measures include eye protection, securing the drill and workpiece, and awareness of chip and coolant disposal. Maintenance involves keeping bits sharp, lubricating moving parts, and periodically checking alignment.
