What should be done to any burrs when installing a taper shank drill?

Leave them as they are
Ensure they are removed
They don’t affect installation
They improve the fit

The correct answer is: Ensure they are removed

When installing a taper shank drill, it is crucial to ensure that any burrs are removed before proceeding. Burrs are small, raised edges or metal flakes that can form on the surface of the drill shank during manufacturing or previous use. If left unaddressed, these burrs can interfere with the proper seating of the drill in the taper socket. A poor fit could lead to instability during operation, reduced precision, and can even cause damage to both the drill and the machine tool. Removing burrs helps achieve a tighter, more accurate fit, which is essential for the effective performance of the drill. This practice also helps in preventing any unnecessary wear or future damage to the equipment. Moreover, it contributes to overall safety in the operation of machinery by reducing the risk of drill slippage or uncontrolled movement. Ensuring a clean and smooth shank surface contributes to better performance and durability of both the drill and the machine it is being installed into.
