Drilling Metal

  • Using a center punch and ball peen hammer to dent the metal to prevent the drill bit from wandering from the desired location





Drilling Metal

  • Using a drill and bit to drill the hole



Machinist’s vise

  • Should be used to secure cold metal for cutting, drilling, filling, or bending





Round File

  • The inside of a drilled hole should be smoothed with a round file



Flat File

  • Can be used to smooth the cut edges of cold metal





Grinder

  • Used to shape and sharpen the hollow-ground cutting edge of tools such as wood chisels





Alloy

  • A mixture of two or more metals



Steel



Mild Steel

  • Known as the workhorse of steels



Mild Steel
