Turning Boring Challenges into Successful Projects
Most professional operators can easily enlarge pre-drilled holes, but some projects are more complex. If you are working with intricate parts, unusual materials, or need precise or finished holes, the following boring processes can help.
Blind bottom boring is used when a hole has a bottom or surface that stops the tool from going all the way through. This process requires a skilled machinist to achieve the needed tight tolerances and finishes. Operators should also have experience working with different metals and alloys for these projects.
Chamfering boring makes a beveled edge by cutting a 45-degree angle to remove a sharp 90-degree edge. Chamfering and beveling are different processes. Chamfering removes less material at a sharper angle, while beveling creates a larger, sloped cut for strength or appearance.
Pattern drilling boring removes material by making a series of holes in different sizes, depths, and positions. To keep accuracy and quality high, this process is usually done in a controlled industrial setting.
Step boring is used when a project needs several features or diameters. Inserts are set at different heights and sizes to enlarge bores or add features while meeting precise finish and tolerance requirements.
