Basics of drilling

Do you know Giovanni Martignoni ? This Swiss mechanic was constantly involved with cutting threads. To cut a good thread, you need a precisely fitting core hole. And for that, you need a good drill bit. So he came up with the idea of ​​filing spiral grooves into the drill bit (1863) . And lo and behold: The holes were precisely fitted, and the drilling dust was carried out of the drill bit.
Since then he has been considered the inventor of the twist drill.

Today, the twist drill is the most widely used drilling tool for drilling holes. The invention of the drill by the Württemberg-based metal drill manufacturer METABO made mobile use possible outside of stationary machine tools. The era of manual operation was thus finally over. Today, there are drills for all kinds of applications and materials. There are basically three main categories : drills for metal, drills for wood, and drills for stone.

Of the hand drills, only the so-called auger bit remains. These drills generally have a cylindrical shank and spiral flutes. Only the shape of the drill bit differs between stone drills , wood drills , and metal drills .
