description Drilling, one of the most used machining processes, has wide application in different industrial fields. Monitoring the system health and operation status of the drilling process is essential for maintaining production efficiency. In this study, a convolutional neural network (CNN), a deep-learning method, is applied to the defect diagnosis of drill bits. Four drill bits with different health conditions were used to drill holes in an aluminum block, and a vibration sensor collected the signals. Vibration spectrograms generated using short-time Fourier transform were applied to a 2D CNN algorithm, and they were then reconstructed into a 1D data set and applied to a 1D CNN algorithm. The input data size was reduced significantly compared to the raw vibration data after the data-reconstruction process. As a result, the 2D CNN process shows a diagnostic accuracy of 97.33%. On the other hand, the 1D CNN provides a diagnostic accuracy of 96.6%, but it only requires 2/3 of the computational time required by the 2D CNN.
