Versatile drill presses from Palmgren reportedly set the standard for the industry. The multipurpose traditional drill press vises are ideal for drilling, tapping, reaming, spotfacing, counter boring and countersinking operations.
Available in a range of sizes from 1-½ inches to 6 inches, they feature replaceable jaws and a base and bed parallel to 0.001 inch. The center of the base is open for holding operations and all vise models can be mounted on the base, either side or placed on end for general use. Made in the USA, the drill press vises come with a lifetime guarantee.
Related Glossary Terms
- boring
boring
Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.
- countersinking
countersinking
Cutting a beveled edge at the entrance of a hole so a screw head sits flush with the workpiece surface.
- drilling machine ( drill press)
drilling machine ( drill press)
Machine designed to rotate end-cutting tools. Can also be used for reaming, tapping, countersinking, counterboring, spotfacing and boring.
- parallel
parallel
Strip or block of precision-ground stock used to elevate a workpiece, while keeping it parallel to the worktable, to prevent cutter/table contact.
- spotfacing
spotfacing
Similar to counterboring except that, in spotfacing, material around the original hole is cut. Application example: the recessed area into which a washer fits. See counterboring; countersinking.
- tapping
tapping
Machining operation in which a tap, with teeth on its periphery, cuts internal threads in a predrilled hole having a smaller diameter than the tap diameter. Threads are formed by a combined rotary and axial-relative motion between tap and workpiece. See tap.
