This is usually accomplished by work-holding jigs. These may be held loosely upon the work table or rigidly fastened to it as their use may warrant. (See "Jig-Making".)
Flood lubrication of the drill and the work is usual when production drilling upon metals other than cast iron, and tanks, pumps, and a circulating system of pipes and nozzles are provided on all drilling machines when desired for this purpose.
