Drill press

A maintenance shop should have the traditional horizontal and vertical lathes, mills, drill presses, slotters, bores, grinders, and a good balancing machine. A balancing machine can pay for itself in a very short time in... 

Standard drill presses, as well as other drilling equipment used for metals and wood, are appropriate for drilling and reaming thermoplastics. Speeds and feeds must be controlled to avoid heat build-up. 

After being coarsely chopped or shredded, the material so obtained is sampled by quarters to afford 454 grams of analytical sample. This pound of sample is placed in a special stainless steel container with 908 ml. of technical benzene and 25 ml. of 10% hydrochloric acid solution, then minced thoroughly with a high-speed cutter on a drill press, as previously described (5). After being capped tightly with No. 300 M.S.T. cellophane un-... 

For the past 2 years the output of analyses has been increased greatly, particularly with penetration studies, by utilization of wet-processing techniques and development of several new pieces of apparatus. This equipment includes the revolving drum-type stripping machine and especially adapted drill press used also for parathion studies. A detailed description of this press has been published ( ), and the stripping machine and accessory equipment have been described (5). 

To prepare liver slices with the Krumdieck sheer, cylindrical cores of tissue are first isolated from the liver specimens (Figure 12.1). These tissue cores are prepared preferably by advancing a sharp rotating metal tube into the liver tissue using a drilling press, thus assuring the preparation of accurately cylindrical cores. If a biopsy punch is used to prepare the cores, it is difficult to obtain a uniform cylindrical shape. 

But, given that not all bladder cancer victims smoke, work with dyes, or operate drill presses, where could the carcinogens be coming from Chlorine-treated drinking water is a possibility. Epidemiological surveys have revealed that people who drink surface water treated with chlorine are more likely to develop bladder cancer. How much more likely Estimates are that in North America we can link roughly 4,500 cases of bladder cancer annually to chlorinated water. To put this into more understandable terms, about ten out of every thousand men who do not drink chlorinated water will develop bladder cancer if they live to be seventy, while thirteen will do so if they drink chlorinated water for thirty-five years. This, of course, assumes that those who don t drink chlorinated water are consuming water that has been purified by some other technique, an option not available to most people. 

When drilling rubber stoppers with a drill press, do not use a rag to hold the frozen rubber stopper. If the rubber grabs the drill bit, the rag could catch rings,... 

Almost all remaining machine work, including all small parts, can be done on a metal cutting lathe. All holes can be drilled with a drill press. A rotary indexing table for the drill press is not essential, but it simplifies locating the various holes in the fuze body in proper relation to each other. (90 and 40 from reference lines). 

The only flat machining required is slotting and milling a flat on the slider assembly. This can also be done w/a file or hand grinder or by clamping the piece in a horizontal feed unit on a drill press. The work is fed into a grinding stone mounted in the drill s chuck.

Designed to hold small round or square parts that are to be tapped lengthwise, this fixture grips or releases them by merely moving a cam lever. The body is a piece of tool steel which has two holes drilled an inch or so from each end, after which it is slotted as indicated. The body is mounted on a steel base with a heavy cap screw run through a third hole drilled at the rear end. A hole at the split end takes a bolt which has a lever cam on one end and a lock nut on the other. In use, the fixture is clamped to the drill-press table and the work is placed in the open hole nearest the split end, after which the cam lever is moved to pull the two sides of the body tightly against it. 

Most procedures needed can be done with a small metal cutting lathe and a standard drill press. If your lathe lacks a thread cutting setup,farm out those steps to a machine shop or use substitute methods of assembly. 

Use a vertical mill or drill press if at all possible Set up blank between centers and mill Use a 1/4 end mill for all of the ports as they have a 1/8 radius on each corner The charging handle slot is made... 

To mill the holes and tap the various components requires a mill or drill press. The mill ends and taps needed for fabrication of components are listed. If you have your local machine shop do it, obviously you will not need these items.

The flow fields can be routed either on a drill press or a small hobby milling machine with a Vs router bit. If you use a drill press, attach a table to set up a fence, so that you can move the circuit board against the fence as you rout the gas slots. 

If you don t have a drill press or milling machine, you could ask a friend, or some enterprising high school shop student to do the job or take a class at a local tech school and bring your circuit board with you as a project. Another option is to take the circuit board to your local machine shop and have them rout the slots for you. 

I have done this both ways and I can assure you it is a lot easier with an XY table on a drill press, and easiest with a milling machine. Either type of machine must have enough throat depth to move the 8"x 10" piece around and position it to complete all the cuts. Be sure to check this out - some machines do not have enough throat depth for this project. 

Rout all the way through the circuit board. The router bit must be set at a depth that is just a little more than the depth of the circuit board to make a complete cut. If you use a drill press, there are two adjustment nuts on a screw that act as a drill stop or depth stop. Again, set them for the bit to just pass through the circuit board and into the Plexiglass a little bit. If you use a milling machine, there is also a drill depth stop that must be set before milling proceeds. 

When everything is set up, simply pull the lever down and the router will drill into the board. With a milling machine, the router can be locked into position, but with a drill press you must keep pressure on the handle to make sure it stays down, as there is a spring which brings it back up if you do not hold it. 

If you are using a drill press without an XY table, this is when you need to have someone hold the lever down while you guide the piece with your hands to route the slots. To rout, simply line up the router bit on the Vs" spaces between the copper traces of the electrode fingers, set up the fence for a cutting guide and push the piece (on a drill press without XY table) along the slot space. 

If you are have an XY table on a drill press or a milling machine, simply turn the wheel to move the clamped piece through each cut. At the end of each slot, lift the router from the piece. Align the piece for the next cut and reposition the fence, if you re using a fence or if you have an XY table, move the wheel to reposition the piece for the next slot cut. 

With smaller milling machines, and drill presses with an XY table, you still have to occasionally reposition the piece and reclamp to make all the cuts. If you use something larger than a hobby milling machine or small drill press, you may not have to reposition your work at all. 

When working with the hydrogen side plate, you can move from one cut to another within each electrode because they are connected by 90° angles. You do not have to lift the router out, just change direction. For a drill press without an XY table you will need two fences or if you only have one fence set up, stop the machine and reset the fence to move the work piece in another direction. With a fence on a drill press, it may be more convenient to set up the fence on one side of the press, drill all the vertical slots on the piece, then change the fence and drill all the horizontal slots on the hydrogen side. Remember to rout the slots for the screws and the edge connectors. 

To drill the hole The drill is a 3/4" diameter tube of brass or copper with eight 1/8" deep notches in one end. The other end is soldered to a 1/4" rod to fit into a drill press. (1) Build a dam with modeling clay. (2) Slurry 150 mesh SiC grit in water to the consistency of thin honey. (3) Place epoxy on the back side of the desiccator to reduce chipping.
