Concept of Radial Drilling machine

Radial Drilling machine is a large gear headed drill press in which the head moves along the arm that radiates from the column of the machine. The arm of the machine can swing in relation to the base of the machine. This swing operation helps the drill head to move out of the way so a large crane can place the heavy work piece on the base of the radial drilling machine. Also this helps in drilling holes at different locations of the work piece without actually moving the work piece.
