INTRODUCTION
Drills ground on an Oliver #510 Drill Pointer are chucked in
a two jaw self-centering chuck, which revolves while the drill is
being ground and produces a special type of point, which requires
less feeding pressure and less horse power for the same feed and
speed as compared with other types of standard drill points.
There is less clearance at the outer edge but greater clear
ance toward the center, producing a much stronger cutting edge and
sufficient clearance for the heaviest feed possible for the drill to
take
.
These facts have been borne out by experience with over 3,000
machines in service and are obvious to any mechanic having had ex
perience with drills and drilling.
Drills can be ground with point angles from 82 to 160 de
grees included.
Chisel point angles from 90 to 140 degrees, also
the clearance can be varied.
With these adjustable features many
different kinds of points can be ground.
The Oliver point requires less chisel point angle than drills
ground in any other manner. We do not depend upon this angle for the
center clearance.
Drills ordinarily ground have 130 degree chisel point angle.
The Oliver Point works best at 110 degrees to 120 degrees and has
much better clearance toward the center.
at the factory
for 110 degree chisel point angle.
The machines are adjusted
Most drills as
ordinarily ground have 12 to 15 degree clearance angle. We do not
determine the clearance on a drill In degrees, it is always the
amount of drop from the cutting edge to the heel which remains the
same the full
length of the cutting
edge.
IMPORTANT-OILING INSTRUCTIONS
Check the oil level in the glass gage on the right-hand side
of the machine, if oil is low add some No. 40 or 50 machine oil by
removing the cap (f) on top of the body.

The hollow or greater clearance toward the center makes the
drill stronger because it allows the chisel point to cut its way in
to the metal.

Turn the diamond occasionally to keep it sharp.
Do not round the inside corner of the grinding wheel by hand
or any other method, as this destroys the drill point form and

TO GRIND A DRILL
Move
the point of the drill,
on
the chuck and clamp it in position at the angle desired
The drill point included angle reading
is at the lover rim or base of the chuck.
Disengage
the chuck clutch by turning handle (A) Fig.
the left to its limit.
Three sets of false jaws or hardened inserts are furnished
with the machine.
This allows the chuck to rotate freely.
The range of the false jaws are as follows:
2 to
Small vee is for drills from 1/4" to 5/8"
Medium vee is for drills from 5/8" to 1-5/8"
Large vee is for drills from 1-5/8" to 3"
It is very important that the correct pair of false jaws are
used and that they are well seated, when tightened into the master
jaws of the chuck.
