- | __Description: | + | ====== PCB Milling ====== |
- | The drill press comes in a floor or bench-mounted model. It has a motor driven head that has a chuck that accepts bits or cutters. It also has an adjustable table on which the work is mounted. It is operated by pulling a rotary lever that lowers the drill bit into the material. To avoid accidents, the following operational safety rules must be observed by everyone working on the Vancouver Hack Space drill press. Failure to follow the safety rules may result in a loss of shop privileges. | + | See [[PCB Milling With Sherline]]. |
- | __Start With A Risk Assessment To Ensure A Safe Work Area:__ | + | ====== Notes for later: ====== |
- | - A two foot perimeter around the drill press should be kept clear of people, debris and sawdust that impair traction or footing to avoid slips and falls. | + | |
- | - Safety glasses with side shields or a face shield must be worn. Hearing protection should be worn. | + | |
- | - Remove loose fitting clothing, jewelry, and tie back long hair. | + | |
- | - Give the work your undivided attention. | + | |
- | - Do not wear gloves or anything that would allow a hand, fingers or clothing to be wrapped around the revolving bit. | + | |
- | __Operational Safety Rules:__ | + | |
- | | + | - http:// |
- | - Make all drill press adjustments with the power shut off. | + | - Tool speed calculator: http://zero-divide.net/? |
- | - Keep all guards and covers on the machine when it is on and running. | + | - We have collets for 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 1/ |
- | - Make sure the size of the bit is equal to or less than the capacity of the drill press. | + | - We have a [[http:// |
- | - Do not exceed the recommended speeds for the type and size of drill bit being used or composition of the stock being drilled. | + | - The upper e-stop button |
- | | + | |
- | - Insert bit into drill chuck and tighten with the chuck key. REMOVE CHUCK KEY FROM THE DRILL CHUCK BEFORE STARTING THE DRILL PRESS | + | |
- | - Use a clamp or vise to securely fasten the stock to the drill press table. Never attempt to handhold stock less than 3’ long while drilling. | + | |
- | - Drill into cylindrical stock using a “V” block. | + | |
- | - Long stock should be drilled with the excess to the left of the operator. If the stock rotates it will hit the drill press column, not the operator. | + | |
- | - Support the underside of the stock to be drilled with a backer board secured to the drill press table. DO NOT DRILL INTO THE DRILL PRESS’ TABLE, except for the existing hole in the centre of the drill press table! | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | - Never reach around or under a rotating drill bit or grab the chuck to stop a drill press. This can result in hand puncture or other serious injury. | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | - When milling into metal use a coolant oil (WD-40 often works well) and use the appropriate speeds and feeds. Rags or chip brushes saturated with cutting oil should | + |
