Drill Press Parts Diagram and Their Functions

Also Read

Drill press is one of the best tools that are used to provide efficient services to the people. Unlike hand drill, the orientation and the location of the holes are considered accurately. All the functions and the features of the drill press are performed well, if all the parts of the tools are in the right condition and working properly. Drill press parts diagram better explain the functions performed as every part of the drill press has a unique and separate function. The parts of the drill press include head, sleeve, spindle, column, table and base. Following are some of the parts of the drill press along with their functions:

Head

The head part of the drill press houses the spindle as it is attached at the top region of the spindle. It is responsible for the spindle movement because the spindle can only move upward or downward.

Spindle

Spindle is the most important part of the drill press that is used to hold the tool and is responsible for its rotation. The spindle of the tool is held with the help of arm that is gripped with the column. In order to keep the spindle in its place, the manufacturer has used a spindle return spring and the spindle moves up and down easily. The weight of the spindle is very useful in the performance of the drill press as counter balances the spindle spring. At the bottom side of the spindle, chuck is placed and this chuck is used to hold the drill bit in place.

Column

The column of the drill machine is used to tie the table. The work is hold in place by the table during the drilling process. It is a long rod in shape that stands vertical with the table. Both the column and the tables are placed at the 90 degree with each other.

Table

Table is also one of the best parts of the drill press. This is used to hold the working material in place. It is adjusted right at 90 degree to the column. It can be moved upward, downward and rotated around the column as required. The shape of the table does not matter. You can make a round shape or a rectangular shape table for your drill press.

Base

The base of the drill press is made up of the steel or iron. The main function of the base of the drill press is used to support the column and stabilize it. With the help of the base or the foot, the drill press can be placed in the upward direction.

Power transmission

The part of the drill press that is used to transmit the power for its working is known as the power transmission. This power is supplied from the electric motor. The process of transmission takes place with the help of the v-bolt and the pair of pulley stacks opposite to each other. The speed of the spindle is fixed or controlled with the help of the pulley stacks. The given figure shows the parts of the drill press. All the important parts are highlight by labeling them. You can see the figure and get the idea of the parts of the drill press. The functions of the parts of the drill press are very important because the functionalities of all these parts are dependent on each other. Drill press parts diagram also highlighted the place where you can put the product and work upon them. Using the drill press is very easy, if you know all the parts of the tool and their functions. In a case, if your tool is not working properly and having some problem you can find out easily that which part of the tool is not working properly or creating problems. You can de-attach that part of drill press and replace it with the new one. This is the best way to operate your drill press in a quick and a good way. On the other hand, if you don’t know the parts of the drill press and their operations then you will feel problems to find out the operating issues in the drill press.
