2. Friction drilling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_drilling

   The basic steps in the friction drilling process: A. Applying pressure. B. Tool heats target and melts through it. C. Screw thread tapping. Friction drilling is a method of making holes in metal in which the material is pushed out of the way with the aid of heat from friction. The process is also called thermal drilling, flow drilling, form ...

3. Screw extractor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_extractor

   The screw is drilled out with the appropriate drill and drill bushing. The extractor is then hammered into the hole with a brass hammer, because a steel hammer is more likely to cause the extractor to break. The appropriate special nut is then attached to the end of the extractor. The nuts can then be turned with a wrench to remove the screw. [1]

4. Pilot hole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_hole

   By drilling a small pilot hole into the material, into which a screw is then driven, less wedging takes place, thereby reducing the likelihood of the material being split. [2] When a screw is driven without a pilot hole, or with too small a pilot hole, the core of the screw may bind and lead to the screw being broken.

5. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   A bit used to enlarge an existing hole is called a core drill bit. The existing hole may be the result of a core from a casting or a stamped (punched) hole. The name comes from its first use, for drilling out the hole left by a foundry core, a cylinder placed in a mould for a casting that leaves an irregular hole in the product. This core drill ...

6. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

   Example (inch, coarse): For size 7 ⁄ 16 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. Therefore, a size 7 ⁄ 16 screw (7 ⁄ 16 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.

7. Mousehole (drilling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mousehole_(drilling)

   The mousehole is the storage area on a drilling rig where the next joint of drilling pipe is held until needed. This hole is in the floor of the rig, bored into the earth for a short way, and usually lined with a metal casing known as a scabbard. The purpose is to have the top of the piece of drill pipe on a level with the kelly when the time ...

9. Down-the-hole drill - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down-The-Hole_Drill

   The drill pipes transmit the necessary feed force and rotation to the hammer and the bit, along with the fluid (air, water or drilling mud) used to actuate the hammer and flush the cuttings. The drill pipes are added to the drill string successively behind the hammer as the hole gets deeper. The hammer is fully fluid actuated.
