Power drills are extremely useful tools that are recommended to have in your home for your do-it-yourself projects. Power drills can be used to strip paint, install screws, sand and polish objects, and of course, bore holes in concrete, wood or metal. Don�t know how to use one? Here are the instructions on how you can use a power drill.
The first thing that you need to do is prepare the area where you are going to work. Make sure that the cord of the drill is long enough to reach the power outlet. If you are using a cordless power drill, then you need not to worry about this, but you should prepare extra batteries in case the ones you are using ran out. Also, wear some protective gears like goggles, welding mask (if you are drilling on metal), and some heavy-duty workman�s gloves.
The next thing that you need to do is secure the drill bit that you want to use in the power drill by inserting it in the chuck. Use the chuck key that comes with the drill to remove the chuck from the drill. There are also certain power drills that have a keyless chuck so you don�t have to worry about losing it anymore. Once you have inserted the drill bit in the chuck, make sure that it�s tight enough before drilling.
When you are ready to commence drilling, press the trigger before pushing the drill gently to the material. Make sure that your hands are perpendicular to the hole that you want to bore to ensure that you are drilling straight. Apply steady but light pressure when drilling and try not to drill too fast and too hard. When drilling wood, you need to pull the drill back from time to time as it will probably be clogged. It is also advisable that you make a dent first when drilling with metals and hardwood to keep the drill bit from wandering to other directions.
Maintain the pressure on the drill until you have completely penetrated the hole. Once you have created the hole that you are aiming to achieve, you are done.
Cordless Power Drill
A cordless power drill is an electric drill that is commonly used for drilling holes in places that have no nearby power outlet. It uses rechargeable batteries but since they are limited in capacity, those who use it often have spare battery packs so they can charge the other set while working. Cordless power drills are available in hammer drill configuration and usually have a clutch setting for driving screws. Other types of cordless power drills include a right angle drill for driving screws in tight spots and those that can drill holes with large diameters, although they can quickly deplete the battery of the such drills.
The earliest forms of cordless power drills used 7.2 V battery packs but since then, several innovations in the technology have allowed for the usage of more powerful batteries with higher voltages, up to 36 V which can produce as much as torque as a corded power drills. However, the recommended voltage for a cordless power drill for regular use is 12-18 V, as those that are less than that tend to be too weak while those that are more than that are way too bulky and are very hard to maneuver because of their size.
The common rechargeable battery that is used for cordless power drills are nickel-cadmium batteries. Most people use it because it is cheaper than the alternative, it is more difficult to damage when discharged, and they last longer in terms of charge/discharge cycles. However, nickel-cadmium batteries have limited life, are self-discharging even when not used, and can internally short circuit due to dendrite growth. The alternative for nickel-cadmium batteries are lithium ion batteries. These batteries are lighter, have shorter charging times, and have longer life. The drawbacks of these kind of batteries is that they are very expensive and they do not work well in cold temperature. These are the factors that should be considered when choosing which batteries to purchase for a cordless electric drill.
All in all, while a cordless power drill may have a limited capacity in terms of power and duration of usage, its ability to function in places that cannot be reached by a regular corded drill more than makes up for its restrictions.
