Drilling - Related Processes

Related Processes

The following are some related processes that often accompany drilling:

Counterboring
This process creates a stepped hole in which a larger diameter follows a smaller diameter partially into a hole.
Countersinking
This process is similar to counterboring but the step in the hole is cone-shaped.
Boring
Boring precisely enlarges an already existing hole using a single point cutter.
Friction drilling
drilling holes using plastic deformation of the subject (under heat and pressure) instead of cutting it.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or processes:

    “The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.”
    —Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)

    “The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)
