Manual Drilling

Manual drilling is a technique for creating holes in materials using hand-operated tools, such as hand drills, braces, or augers, without powered machinery. It involves applying physical force to rotate a cutting bit to bore through wood, metal, plastic, or other substances. This method is valued for its simplicity, portability, and low cost in situations where precision or small-scale work is required.
