Hole Making Tools

Drill bits, counterbores, countersinks, reamers, boring tools, hole saws, broaches, taps, and dies are common hole-making tools. Drill bits are versatile for various materials. Counterbores create flat-bottomed holes. Countersinks make conical recesses. Reamers improve hole accuracy and finish. Boring tools enlarge or create precise holes. Hole saws cut larger-diameter holes. Broaches produce shaped holes. Taps create internal threads, and dies make external threads. Tool selection depends on material, desired size, shape, and machining process.
