US 2017/0319290 A1 · DRILL LIMIT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING SAME

Abstract

A drill limit system includes a holder having drill stops removably coupled thereto and configured to receive a drill bit therethrough, and a platform coupled to the holder and configured to engage a tip end of the drill bits when received through the drill stops, wherein the holder and platform are movable relative to each other so that the position of the drill stops relative to the drill bits may be selectively varied. A method for attaching drill stops to a drill bit includes providing a holder and a platform movable relative to each other, the holder having a plurality of drill stops removably coupled thereto, inserting a plurality of drill bits through respective drill stops, moving the holder and platform relative to each other to select a desired height of the drill stops on the bits, and engaging the drill stops to the drill bits at the selected height.

Dependent claims

A drill limit system for providing a drill stop with a drill bit, comprising:

a holder including at least one drill stop positioned on the holder and configured to receive at least one drill bit therethrough, wherein the at least one drill stop has a first state in which the at least one drill bit is configured to be movable relative to the at least one drill stop and a second state in which the at least one drill stop is configured to be secured to the at least one drill bit;
and
a platform operatively coupled to the holder and having a surface configured to engage a tip end of the at least one drill bit,
wherein the holder and the platform are movable relative to each other such that the position of the at least one drill stop relative to the at least one drill bit may be selectively varied in order to locate the at least one drill stop at a desired position on the at least one drill bit, wherein the platform is configured to be vertically stationary and the holder is configured to be movable relative to the platform.
