Versatility of the Drill Press
• Greatly increased by various
accessories
• Two categories
• Tool-holding devices
•
Used to hold or drive cutting tool
• Work-holding devices
•
Used to clamp or hold workpiece
2
Tool-Holding Devices
• Drill press spindle provides means of
holding and driving cutting tool
• End may be tapered or threaded for
mounting drill chuck
• Most common
• Drill chucks
• Drill sleeves
• Drill sockets
3
Drill Chucks
• Most common devices used for holding
straight-shank cutting tools
• Most contain three jaws that move
simultaneously when outer sleeve
turned
• Hold straight shank of cutting tool securely
• Two common types
• Key
• Keyless
4
Chucks
• Hold straight-shank drills
• Mounted on drill press spindle
• Taper
• Threads
• Held in spindle by self-
holding taper in larger
machines
• Four types of drill chucks
5
Types of Drill Chucks
• Key-type
• Most common
• Three jaws move
simultaneously
when outer sleeve
turned
•
Tighten with key
•
Different size keys for
different size chucks
6
Types of Drill Chucks
• Keyless
• Chuck loosened or
tightened by
hand without key
• Precision keyless
• Holds smaller drills
accurately
7
Types of Drill Chucks
8
Drill Sleeves and Sockets
• Drill Sleeves
• Used to adapt drill
shank to machine
spindle if taper on tool is
smaller than taper in spindle
• Drill Socket
• Used when hole in spindle of drill press too
small for taper shank of drill
• Used often as
extension sockets
9
Drill Drift
• Used to remove tapered-shank drills or
accessories from drill press spindle
• Always place rounded edge up so this
edge will bear against round slot in
spindle
• Use hammer to tap drill drift and loosen
tapered drill shank
• Use board or piece of pressed-wood to
protect table or vise

Work-Holding Devices
• Angle vise
• Angular adjustment on base to allow
operator to drill holes at an angle without
tilting table
15
Work-Holding Devices
• Drill Press Vise
• Used to hold round, square or odd-shaped
rectangular pieces
• Clamp vise to table for stability
16
Work-Holding Devices
• Drill Press Vise
17
Work-Holding Devices
• Drill Press Vise
18
Work-Holding Devices
• Drill Press Vise
19
Work-Holding Devices
• Drill Press Vise
20
Work-Holding Devices
• V-blocks
• Made of cast iron or
hardened steel
• Used in pairs to
support round work for
drilling
21
Work-Holding Devices
• Step blocks
• Used to provide
support for outer
end of strap clamps
• Various sizes and
steps
22
Work-Holding Devices
23
Work-Holding Devices
• Angle plate
• L-shaped piece of
cast iron or
hardened steel
machined to
accurate 90º
• May be bolted or
clamped to table
• Variety of sizes
24
Work-Holding Devices
• Drill jigs
• Used in production for drilling holes in large
number of identical parts
• Eliminate need for laying out a hole location
25
Work-Holding Devices
• Clamps or straps
• Used to fasten work to table or
angle plate for drilling
• Various sizes
• Usually supported at
end by step block and
bolted to table by T-bolt
that fits into table T-slot
26
Work-Holding Devices
Finger clamp
U-clamp
Straight clamp
27
Clamping Stresses
• Don’t want stresses to cause springing
or distortion of workpiece
• Clamping pressures should be applied
to work, not step block
• Step block should
be slightly higher
than work
• Bolt close to work
28
Clamping Hints
1. Always place bolt close to
workpiece
2. Have packing block slightly higher
than work surface being clamped
3. Place metal shim between clamp
and workpiece
4. Use sub-base or liner under rough
casting
5. Shim parts that do not lie flat to
prevent rocking
