While the casting process is widely used in manufacturing, it is not always capable of achieving tight geometric tolerances. For this reason, rough boring is necessary to correct any issues before a finish boring tool can be used.
A drill that is too slender, fed too hard or has a damaged tip, is a common cause of crooked holes in the process of rough finishing. Even though this hole might appear straight, precise measuring equipment will reveal that finish boring is required to meet tolerances.
Finally, the surface finish may call for a finish bore tool. Rough boring produces an adequate finish. However, a fine boring head should be used to produce a more precise and smoother surface.
