A tapered shank drill is removed from the drill press spindle with a _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) drill drift.
A drill drift is the proper tool to remove a tapered shank drill from a drill press spindle. The drill drift is designed with a tapered end that fits into the tapered shank of the drill bit, allowing you to gently but firmly tap the drill out of the spindle without damaging the equipment.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) A vice grip is not the appropriate tool for this task, as it could potentially damage the drill shank or spindle.
C) A leather mallet is too soft and could not provide the necessary force to remove the drill.
D) A taper punch is not the correct tool, as it is designed for different applications and would not properly interface with the tapered drill shank.
