Drilling is a process of creating holes in a solid material using a drill bit. It is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and mining industries for various purposes such as installing pipes, wires, or fasteners. Drilling can be done manually with hand tools or with the help of power tools such as electric drills or drill presses. The size and type of drill bit used depend on the material being drilled and the desired hole size. Proper drilling techniques are important to ensure accurate and precise holes are created.
