Mechanical Boring
What is boring?
Boring is the process of enlarging an existing hole to make it bigger using a single-point cutting tool. It is an important part of engineering. The process to make the initial hole is known as drilling, and the process to smooth the inside edge of the hole is known as reaming. All three functions have their own importance, and different tools and equipment to carry out each piece of engineering.
What are the benefits of boring?
Boring is an excellent choice when we need to increase the size of a hole. Single-pass boring is performed using a diamond-tipped cutter, and the machine only passes once through the hole, this is a very useful technique for various reasons. It is very quick and efficient, a boring machine can produce a high quantity of holes in a short period. Single-pass boring can be used on a range of materials, not just metal, so is a versatile solution. Multiple passes when boring work best for blind holes. Boring is incredibly accurate, and whilst all industries require precision, certain industries such as aerospace require extreme accuracy. Boring is a very efficient process and has a wide adjustment range so that holes of different sizes can be created easily and swiftly.
