===== Drilling =====


Place: GreenFabLab, KampLintfort, Germany.\\
Date: 16/April/2021

This test was made to check the behavior of a drill to get familiar with the process and consider it for machine structure requirements.
Soil type: Clayey

**Materials:**

1. Drill:\\
- Brand and model: Bosch GSR 18V-21\\
- Torque: 21/55Nm

2. Drill bit:\\
- Diameter: 32mm\\
- Length: 500mm

**Process:**

The first time, I got to drill 30cm depth.\\

The second time, I got to drill 50cm, which is the total length of the bit.\\

**Outlook:**

During this test, it was remarkable that [with this amount of torque and these soil conditions] it is not possible to take a soil sample by drilling more than 30 centimeters deep in one go, separate the total depth on multiple phases would be a good an alternative to increasing torque in this case.

<!--Measuring the torque in every moment, then when the torque demanded increases, finish that phase, clean the bit and continue with the next one.-->
