ABSTRACT
In this book, various tools used to set up mechanical and electrical devices are described, besides explaining how to install components in a robotic system. The tools that are used in the robotics projects are as follows:
• Electric drill: It is an essential tool for robotics project developers (Figure 14.1). Several drills are available in the market. Drill bits (Figure 14.2) are chosen based on the size of the holes that are to be made. Therefore, the drill bit size is most important in this context. Various drills such as a tapper point drill, brad point drill, double ended drill, and three-wing drills are most often used. Normal bits are used for wood and stainless steel. High-carbon steel bits are recommended for drilling thin or thick metals. The 0.39 mm bits are used for soft wood, while the 0.79 mm bit is used for both hard and soft woods. The 1.19 mm bit is optimum for harder woods.
