2. Drill bit shank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_shank

   Large drill bits can have straight shanks narrower than the drill diameter so that they can be fitted in chucks not able to chuck the full diameter. Such a drill bit is called a reduced-shank or blacksmith's drill. For example, this allows a 1 ⁄ 2-inch (13 mm) bit to be used in a pistol-grip drill's 3 ⁄ 8-inch (9.5 mm) chuck.

3. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

   For Morse taper-shank drill bits, the standard continues in 1/64 inch increments up to 1¾ inch, then 1/32 inch increments up to 2¼ inch, 1/16 inch increments up to 3 inches, 1/8 inch increments up to 3¼ inches, and a single 1/4 inch increment to 3½ inches. One aspect of this method of sizing is that the size increment between drill bits ...

   Example (inch, fine): For 7 ⁄ 16-20 (same diameter as the previous example, but this time with 20 threads per inch, which is considered fine), 0.437 in × 0.90 = 0.393 in (i.e., if the threads are to be fine, then a slightly larger diameter drill bit should be used before tapping the hole for the screw).

5. Grinding wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_wheel

   Grinding wheels are self-sharpening to a small degree; for optimal use they may be dressed and trued by the use of wheel or grinding dressers. Dressing the wheel refers to removing the current layer of abrasive, so that a fresh and sharp surface is exposed to the work surface. Trueing the wheel makes the grinding surface parallel to the ...

6. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

   Surface grinding uses a rotating abrasive wheel to remove material, creating a flat surface. The tolerances that are normally achieved with surface grinding are ±2 × 10 −4 inches (5.1 μm) for grinding a flat material and ±3 × 10 −4 inches (7.6 μm) for a parallel surface. [4]

7. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   The correct tool to start a traditionally drilled hole (a hole drilled by a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit) is a spotting drill bit (or a spot drill bit, as they are referenced in the U.S.). The included angle of the spotting drill bit should be the same as, or greater than, the conventional drill bit so that the drill bit will then ...
