With the help of several drill bits, drilling is a process that is ideal for creating holes in workpieces. The machine will push the drill bit toward the material you’re working on, giving it vertically aligned holes and allowing the waste material to drop off—some special machines can even drill in an angular fashion.
There are plenty of drill bits out there for specific applications, whether you need a shallow pilot hole (look to a spotting drill) or fewer chips (try a peck drill). There are also drills that can widen existing holes, such as a chucking reamer. This kind of machining process is used across the medical, construction, transportation, and electronic sectors.
