6.17.9 Numericals on Drilling Example 6.32: A twist drill of 30 mm dia is used in drilling a hole in a mild steel workpiece with following recorded data Vertical force (F,) = 50 kg Cutting force at lip (Fy,) = 30 kg Feed rate = 0.6 mnv/rev Drill speed = 500 rpm If value of constant (C) for mild steel is 0.36, then neglecting friction effect, find out: (a) Thrust force (b) Torque acting on drill (©) Power required for drilling Solution: ‘Thrust force (P) 0 Fy + Fy = 50 + 2« 30 110 kg ‘Torque (7) acting on drill = C-d. f°? 0.36 x 30 x 0.697 = 0.076 kg gP tN 975,000 612-10* Total power for drilling = =53x103kW (Ans.) Example 6.33: Calculate drill pm for drilling a hole of 25 mm diameter in a 15 mm thick plate with a cutting speed of 25 m/min. Solution: ya 1000, = 1000 _ 25x 1000 ad 3.14« 25 Example 6.34: With a drill dia 20 mm, a hole is to be drilled in a plate 20 mm thick with a surface speed 60 m/min, Calculate drill speed (je. rpm) and feed per rev. ¥ x 1000 _ 60% 1000 md 3.14x20 or N = 3184 rpm (Ans.) Solutio N= = 955.4 1pm total distance moved axially _ 20 +0.3x20 1pm 955.4 Feed = = 0.02 mm/rev (Ans.) Example 6.35: Four holes, each of 15 mm dia, are to be drilled along the periphery of a pipe, 30 mm thick. If cutting speed is 20 m/min and feed 0.2 mnvrey, calculate machi time for drilling.Solution: WN 220X100. 494.6 rpm 3.14 x15 (a) Drilling time (7) for one hole =—£— = 20+ 0315 _ 0.4 min N-f 424.6x02 For drilling 4 holes, machining time would be 4 x 0.4 = .6 min (Ans.) Example 6.36: Given: hole diameter 20 mm; depth to be drilled 70 mm; feed 1.2 mm/rev; cutting speed 60 m/min, find out drill rpm, feed speed, cutting time and metal removal rate assuming tool approach and over travel as 5 mm. 1000 V _ 1000 x 60 wd 3.14%20 Feed speed =f: N = 1.2 x 955.4 = 1146.4 mm/min Solution: Drill or spindle rpm (N) = = 955.4 rpm Cutting or drilling time (7) 39 and L =70+5 = 75 mm 15, 1.29554 = 0,065 min (Ans.)
