What’s the metal at the centre of the drill called?

The web

What should the drill speed be limited to for drills longer than 3 inches?

6000 rpm

What angles are available for angle drill motors?

30, 45, 90 (limited access places)

What is a flat offset drilling head also known as?

Pork chop

What is wrong with the speed of drilling if the corners wear away too fast?

Too high

What should very hard steel be cut with?

Kerosene or turpentine

What should be drilled to stop a crack?

1/4 inch counterbore

What does a drill guide do?

Keeps the drill 90 degrees to skin surfaces.

What is the nut plate drill jig known as?

Anchor nuts

What numbers and letters are used for drill gauge sizes?

80-1 A-Z

Why is Boelube good?

Non corrosive and paint compatible Removed easily with warm water Non toxic Compatible with most systems

When should Boelube residue be removed?

Within 48 hours of use

When would a shaft basis system fit be used?

Bearing and gears where a variety of components need to fit one shaft.

How does the ISO system of fits work?

H upwards smaller the hole h upwards bigger the shaft

What is the standard for ISO system of fit?

British standard 4500

What are reamers for?

Improve the quality of hole and provides closer control of drilling hole size.

How big should a reamed hole be drilled out before?

1/32 under finishing hole size

What are reamers made out of?

High speed steel or carbon steel

What do spiral fluted reamers do which straight fluted do not?

Do not tend to chatter and must be used when cutting reamed holes that have key ways

What are bottoming reamers for?

Complete reaming of blind holes

What do right hand twist spiral fluted reamers do?

Removal of chips affected like normal drill.

What do left hand twist reamers do?

Move chips in advance direction. Does not pull the drill into the hole

What are left hand twist reamers only good for?

Transmissions

How are reamers made to reduce vibration?

Uneven spacing

How do you remove a reamer?

In the same direction as the cutting direction.

What is the advantage of machine reamers?

Higher cutting capacity and dead centre holes.

Why is the pilot chuck reamer the most commonly used?

Accurate lead into the hole and a superior finish

When is an expansion hand reamer used?

When a hole needs cutting a few thousandths of an inch over nominal size for fit purposes

Which reamer is threaded it’s entire length?

Hand taper reamer

What’s used to countersink inaccessible holes?

Back countersink

What is spotfacing?

The method for cutting a hole for a bolt head on an uneven surface. (Use a pilot 1/32 inch under hole size)

What are the most common threads used on aircraft?

DIN Metric and American National

How is a thread measured below 1/4 inch?

Numbers between 0-12

What parts make up the hand threading tool?

Stock and die

Why does the die of a hand threading tool have 3 or more flutes?

Form cutting edges on the internal thread.

What do regular hand tap sets consist of?

Taper, intermediate and bottoming taps.

What is a torque wrench measured in?
