Drilling capacity indicates the maximum diameter a given power drill or drill press can produce in a certain material. Typically a given drill will have its capacity specified for different materials, i.e., 10mm for steel, 25mm for wood, etc.

Is a drill press a robot?

<p>No, it's a machine tool, like a table saw or a lathe. A drill press is mostly used to bore holes. It has a large vertical spindle that holds bits that can be lowered onto a workpiece. Unlike a mill or a lathe, a drill press is rarely automated (which is what you might have meant by 'robot').<p>

What are the functionS of a drill press?

-The drill press can take bits of up to 1/2 shank size and many of those are drill bits up to an inch wide. ( it's quite common to have large drills with reduced shanks) -Other items like large hole saws can be used, as well as 'fly cutters', which are cutting bits on the end of a movable beam. These can usually cut holes in thin materials like plexiglass sheet, up to a foot in diameter. Forstner bits up to 6 or 8 inch can be used, these cut large, flat bottomed holes for installing clocks and other instruments. Milling bits can be used to 'mill' large areas of rough surface to smoothness, and 'square hole tools' can also be used. The large drill press is a very versatile tool.
