We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Drilling Machine", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Inserts supplier change betters deep-hole drilling from TaeguTec UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A deep-hole drilling head is machining holes to size consistently while the need to change inserts has fallen dramatically since switching to different inserts". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release Machine deep-hole drills up to 30m depth from Precihole Machine Tools: "A large deep-hole drilling and boring machine can produce holes of up to 10m long and 300mm diameter using its BTA drilling, BTA skiving-burnishing and trepanning facility".
 
In November 2007, we covered the news from Sodi-Tech edm concerning its AE05 EDM fine drilling machine - take a look at Micro-machining using a contact-free EDM which says: "Claimd to be able to drill th world's smallest hole, an EDM uses a ceramic Z-axis, contact-free movement supported by an air bearing".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Mike Page - editor's feature articles, Drilling - why use up too much time?, as well as Deep hole drilling machine firm adds on VMC from Ward CNC Machinery, and Event shows fastest plateworkers and shears from Kaltenbach.
