Drilling – Definition, the process of drilling, power tools & accessories for drilling
Drilling is one of the most common DIY tasks. Power tools normally used for drilling are cordless drills, cordless combi drills, impact drills and rotary hammers. The right drilling accessories are essential for a perfect drilling result.
1. What is drilling?
Drilling is the term used for the work process which produces through and blind holes, including follow up work like countersinking and tapping.
2. Drilling - What happens during the process of drilling?
The drilling process is the result of forward pressure (feed motion) and rotary motion (cutting motion).
This has the following effect:
The cutting edge of the drill bit penetrates into the material as a result of the applied pressure (advance feed).
In addition, the rotary motion (cutting motion) rotates the drill bit and helps the periphery of the cutting edge move further into the material.
The material is cut off as shavings which the rotary motion and geometry of the drill bit helix remove from the drilled hole.
3. Drilling - Which machines are used?
The machines used for drilling are either handheld (portable) or stationary drills with their appropriate application tools and clamping devices.
Bosch Power Tools are the best way to equip yourself for any drilling job. Choose between compact and handy tools with high endurance for normal drilling (and screwdriving) applications or powerful and particularly robust machines for heavy drilling jobs (e.g. drilling in concrete).

4. Drilling - Which accessory is used?
Holes can be drilled in different materials using the corresponding drilling accessory, the drill bit, which is connected to the power tool by means of a clamping mechanism, the drill chuck. However, the correct drill bit type should be used for each material.
