The current invention provides apparatus and a method for use with a drill bit to form a hole in a workpiece, said apparatus including a clamping means to clamp a workpiece in which the hole is to be formed in position with the apparatus, a drill bit holder assembly and drive means for rotating the drill bit and moving the same into the workpiece so as to drill the hole at a required angle and depth into the workpiece. Typically the depth of the hole is set in relation to the thickness of the workpiece which is clamped in position at that time and the apparatus includes a first part which is held by a first hand of the user and movable by the user with respect to a second part which is held by a second hand of the user and the relative movement is translated into movement of the drill bit holder to move the rotating drill bit into the workpiece.
A hole drilling apparatus, said apparatus hand held in use and including a drill bit, a motor for selectively providing a driving force to the drill bit, clamping means which, when applied to a workpiece in which a hole is to be drilled, clamp the workpiece in position with respect to the apparatus and wherein the apparatus includes a first part which is provided to be slidingly movable by the user relative to a second part of the apparatus so as to cause the advancement of the drill bit holder assembly and drill bit, as it is driven to rotate, into the work-piece to form the hole wherein the first part includes a first handle and a second handle is mounted on the second part and when both handles are gripped by the user and relative movement between said first and second handles is caused by the user said advancement of the drill bit holder assembly and drill bit occurs, wherein the first part is movable in a first direction in order to advance the drill bit holder assembly and drill bit into the workpiece in a second direction as the drill bit is driven to rotate and thus form the hole and wherein the second direction is substantially opposed to the first direction.
A hole drilling apparatus, said apparatus hand held in use and including a drill bit, a motor for selectively providing a driving force to the drill bit, clamping means which, when applied to a workpiece in which a hole is to be drilled, clamp the workpiece in position with respect to the apparatus and wherein the apparatus includes a first part which is provided to be slidingly movable by the user relative to a second part of the apparatus so as to cause the advancement of the drill bit holder assembly and drill bit, as it is driven to rotate, into the work-piece to form the hole wherein the first part includes a first handle and a second handle is mounted on the second part and when both handles are gripped by the user and relative movement between said first and second handles is caused by the user said advancement of the drill bit holder assembly and drill bit occurs, wherein the depth of the hole which is formed in the workpiece is set in relation to the thickness of the workpiece which is indicated by the position of at least one plate or jaw of the clamping means and wherein the workpiece is clamped in a slot defined by opposing jaws or plates of the clamping means and the at least one jaw or plate is moveable with respect to another jaw or plate so as to match the spacing apart of the jaws or plates to the thickness of the workpiece and a clamping force is exerted by the jaws or plates on the workpiece.
A hole drilling apparatus, said apparatus hand held in use and including a drill bit, a motor for selectively providing a driving force to the drill bit, clamping means which, when applied to a workpiece in which a hole is to be drilled, clamp the workpiece in position with respect to the apparatus and wherein the apparatus includes a first part which is provided to be slidingly movable by the user relative to a second part of the apparatus so as to operate a drive assembly to cause the advancement of the drill bit holder assembly and drill bit, as it is driven to rotate, into the work-piece to form the hole and wherein the drive assembly includes at least one sprocket wheel and at least one first toothed track and at least one second toothed track which, when the drive assembly is operated, simultaneously move with respect to the at least one sprocket wheel.
