Snow DR-2 Multi-Drill Head
June 22nd, 2012
posted by AutoDrill
A customer of ours recently needed a two spindle head for their Snow DR-2 machine. Because the Snow machine has a very unique mounting system that integrates a pull-style feed control, AutoDrill designed a custom adapter for the machine.

- Side View Adapter – Snow DR-2 Multidrill Head
-
- Drive Tang Mate View – Snow DR-2 Two Spindle Head
-
- Front View – Snow DR-2 Multi-Drill Head
Another customer called recently and said that Snow themselves will not offer them a multiple spindle drill head for their machine. We look forward to providing the best support in the industry to that customer as well!

Two Axis Drilling Machine
June 21st, 2012
posted by AutoDrill
Kentucky Gauge and AutoDrill team up once again to offer a highly precise, lower cost two-axis drilling machine.
This customer wanted to drill a number of holes in a ribbed aluminum extrusion. They also wanted to do it in a repeatable manner. They chose the lower cost manual adjustment method rather than going with a fully automated Kentucky Gauge machine.
As you can see, they also chose quality over quantity. Their feed rate and RPM rates are very low so as to avoid a large burr inside the part and also to avoid the need for coolant on the process

How do the Professionals Drill Holes for Things Like Carburetor Jets?
June 13th, 2012
posted by AutoDrill
Have you ever wondered how a professional drills holes? We are not talking about your local professional wrench, but about the manufacturers.
Recently a carburetor manufacturer in Kentucky needed to drill some 1/32″ holes in brass. They already had Dumore self-feeder drill in their shop but found that access to support and new machines was simply not up to their standards. So they contacted AutoDrill.
1100 Series AutoDrill for Carburetor Jet Process
After a brief discussion, it was obvious that AutoDrill’s products were of excellent quality and priced extremely competitively. So they purchased two machines immediately.
In May of 2012, the company took delivery of the drills and has been using them ever since. Because they chose the 1100 Series AutoDrill the size of the units was kept to a minimum and their drilling fixture was extremely simple. they even chose to go with a 3500 RPM, 90VDC motor with a very simple 115VAC controller package.
The industry standard ER11 style collet chuck on the self feeding drill made it possible for them to purchase an entire set of properly sized collets for different jobs. Because these collets are available from thousands of vendors around the globe, they will never have to worry about finding proprietary items to stay in business.
AutoDrill can offer units with up to 1000 lbs. of thrust at 100 PSI and spinning multiple tools for drilling, tapping, reaming, etc.

Taps Standards and Dimensions
A metric tap with an ANSI shank uses the same tap collet as an inch tap with the same shank diameter. There are some less common all-metric taps, but you often don’t find these anywhere inside the USA, Canada or Mexico.
