Abstract

Drilling is a machining process to create a round hole in a workpiece using a drill. A drill is a rotating cylindrical tool with cutting edges on the working end. The drill feeds into the workpiece to generate a round hole. Such round hole is a common feature in product design to achieve various functional purposes, such as joining, access, and fluid passages. The size, shape, position, and surface integrity of the drilled holes are determined by the drill and drilling process parameters (particularly the rotational speed and feed rate), as well as the temperature, deformation, surface integrity, and thermal expansion of the drill and workpiece.
