As highlighted by Market Prospects in their article “What Types of Drilling Machines Exist and What Are Their Applications?“, drilling machines are essential machine tools used for creating round holes or driving fasteners, crucial in manufacturing production processes.

Types of Drilling Machines:

Drilling machines, also known as drill machines, find applications in cutting holes in various materials such as metal, wood, or others. They are indispensable in machinery manufacturing and repair factories and are categorized based on purpose and structure:

Portable Drilling Machine:

  • Portable drilling machines are ideal for drilling small holes and are commonly used in workshops. They are handheld, with the workpiece secured in a vice during operation.

Sensitive Drilling Machine:

  • Sensitive drilling machines are suitable for machining small and medium-sized workpieces. They feature a movable table and spindle speed and feed mechanism, allowing operators to adjust pressure sensitively.

Upright Drilling Machine:

  • Used for drilling medium and large-size holes, upright drilling machines are stronger and larger compared to sensitive drilling machines. They come in two types based on the column used: round column and box column.

Radial Drilling Machine:

  • Radial drilling machines feature a movable spindle speed and feed mechanism on a radial arm, making them suitable for processing large, heavy, and porous workpieces.

This comprehensive overview guides users through the diverse world of drilling machines, aiding in better understanding their applications and functionalities.
