Abstract
Drilling is one of the most fundamental and widely used of machining operations. A single-engine fighter aircraft or a missile could need as many as a quarter of a million holes drilled. Yet drilling, for lack of understanding of the operation, is an art rather than a science. Consequently, drilling costs could be unnecessarily high without being noticed.
