To drill a hole in round stock, perpendicular to the axis of the piece, the stock should be mounted in a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• How machinists support round stock when they need a flat, stable reference surface • Which work-holding device naturally centers and supports a cylindrical piece for drilling at 90° to its axis • The difference between a tool holder (for drills) and a work holder (for the stock)

💭 Think About

• Which option is specifically designed to support round or cylindrical material so a drill press can make a straight, centered hole across it? • Look at each choice and ask: does this mainly hold the tool (drill) or the workpiece (round bar)? • Which device provides two flat faces at right angles that nest the round stock securely so it won’t roll while drilling?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is commonly used on a drill press or milling machine table to hold round bar stock for cross drilling • Eliminate any item that is primarily a spindle or drill shank adaptor rather than a work-holding fixture • Confirm that the device you pick prevents the stock from rolling and naturally aligns the hole perpendicular to the axis
