When drilling on a drill press, what setup is typically used?

• A. Multiple items
• B. Long holes only
• C. Straight holes only
• D. One piece at a time

Answer: (A)

When drilling on a drill press, you typically use a jig or fixture to hold multiple parts at once. This setup lets you align all parts so the holes come out in the same places and to the same depth across the batch. It speeds production, reduces handling, and improves consistency because you’re drilling several pieces in a single setup rather than touching each piece individually. The idea isn’t about the holes being long or straight, but about using a fixture to secure several items so you can drill them together efficiently.
