Choosing the Right Boring to Meet the Challenge

Even though boring or enlarging pre-drilled holes might appear to be a simple task, it often becomes complicated when dealing with complicated parts and materials. Advanced techniques are needed if precise size, concentricity, and finish are to be achieved. The following are several types of boring processes used in these demanding applications.

 

Blind Bottom Boring

Blind bottom boring must be used when the hole has a bottom or a surface which stops the tool from going through the piece. In order to achieve tight tolerances and a high degree of finish, this operation requires experience in working with different metals and alloys as well as a skilled machinist.

 

Chamfering Boring

A chamfer bore produces a beveled edge between two surfaces by cutting lightly, usually at a 45-degree angle, to get rid of a 90-degree edge. Although the terms 'bevel' and 'chamfer' are frequently used in the same way, there are small technical differences between them.

 

Pattern Drilling Boring

Pattern drilling is an advanced method of boring which removes material by means of a series of holes that have different sizes, depths, and orientations. It is usually carried out in a controlled industrial environment to guarantee accuracy and quality.

 

Step Boring

Step boring is the best choice when several diameters or features are needed; machinists can increase the diameter of the bore or add features by adjusting the inserts to different heights and diameters in order to achieve the required finish and tolerances.
