Ways Of Maintaining Safety Of Deep Hole Drilling Machine User

By Catherine Taylor


The origin of deep hole drilling goes back in the revolutionary times when guns of different shapes were in high demand. Those days simple tools were used for the drill. However, more reliable deep hole drilling machine have been developed these days thanks to the growing technology. Some of these tools include the gun drill tooling machine, the BTA tooling machine and much more.

Though the modern tools seem comfortable and enjoyable to handle, one may easily get injured if they fail to use them properly. Drilling of these holes is a bit dangerous if one fails to be careful. There are many reported cases of injuries during the drilling of these holes. It is a mandatory requirement therefore that one is aware of safety precautions before embarking on this work.

There being several kinds of these tools, tool selection is a number one safety factor. The tool to be used will depend on some factors including the hole dimension, the requirements of the hole to be drilled, the number of machine operators available and the time after each grinding. Its important that one picks a machine that satisfies the job requirement.

Having successfully managed to select the right tool or machinery, the next important step is understanding it. It is very dangerous that one starts using an appliance without the proper understanding of its operation. For example, in such tools, it is important that one can know how to deliver fluids or coolants into the work piece without compromising its final specifications.

Frequent checks of the tool being used is another additional precautionary measure that should be taken into account. Digging these deep holes will always cause the wearing off of the appliance in use after some time. Its important for one to be on the lookout regularly on how the machine is coping. Wearing out will not only affect the production of the hole but will also be a threat to ones safety.

In as much as it may sound as a necessary thing, most people fail in putting on the appropriate clothing when they are in process. Its important that one puts on thick overalls and gloves where necessary. Moreover, it is recommended that one puts on eye protecting gears made of either glasses or even plastic. These will protect them from the drilled debris from getting into their eyes.

Most accidents occur due to distractions during working. It is, therefore, advisable that one makes their working environment clear from any destruction. This can be achieved by ensuring the working table is clear of any unwanted things. Other work pieces should be close to you but not on the table. This prevents chances of tool misusing.

There is a need of one being provided with a device for handling the drilling tools and the specimen. The hand seems to be the most likely body part to these accidents. It the event of a simple error or loss of concentration, ones hand may get attracted into the machine. The use of the handling device will, therefore, ensure that one is protected from such unfortunate accidents.
