While the basic process of boring, enlarging holes that have already been drilled, sounds simple, it can become complex quickly. When the boring process involves intricate machined parts and materials the complexity of making pre-drilled holes larger, concentric, properly sized, or finished is more complicated projects. The following are types of boring that can get the complicated job done.
The boring process involves machining a pre-drilled or pre-cast hole with a single point cutting tool or boring head to enlarge its original size. Using a single cutting tip of steel, cemented carbide, or diamond bore, the boring machine can produce smooth and accurate holes in a part. The most common boring tools are braces, bits, and gimlets. Other tools include a joiner that uses different chisels, hand boring tools, and electric power drills. Line boring is an engine machining process to enlarge a hole, while making perfectly straight and aligned bores. A line boring machine performs this task using one or more cutting tools held within a boring head.
Today, more than ever, it’s crucial that you maintain a safe working environment in your plant for your workers. Securing buildings and preventing accidents need to be at the top of management’s priority list. The following are ways to improve facility safety and security.
Generally, the process of boring makes a drilled or cast hole larger with a single boring head or point cutting tool. The hole is first drilled to create the initial hole in a part and then boring enlarges the existing hole utilizing awls, gimlets, and augers. The basic tool for making a hole in a part is an awl, which pushes material to one side without removing it. Other tools used in the process include drills, gimlets, and augers. These tools have cutting edges that detach material to create the hole. The following are the range of the types of boring.
Manufacturing is no longer limited to assembly lines. New technology and equipment are helping factories operate more efficiently. The following advancements could help improve your manufacturing processing:
It is generally accepted that inventory management is an essential part of manufacturing. One of the vital tools in effective inventory management are bar codes. This tracking tool can help manage inventory, workflow, and regulatory requirements. There are several benefits of bar codes. These advantages include lower workload, alerts on production slowdowns or low inventory, and workflow improvement.
Manufacturing customers are expecting more than quality products and adherence to deadlines. Customer service is becoming a critical feature that is expected of manufacturing suppliers. The following are areas that can help improve your customer service and satisfaction.
Often a hole in a part needs to be larger. After drilling creates the initial hole in a part the process of boring enlarges a previously drilled or cast hole with a single point cutting tool or boring head. Various tools are used in boring:
As always, the industrial world continues to evolve. The following are several predictions that could change the future of manufacturing.
Technology is expanding into every part of our lives, and it is the same in the lives of manufacturers. In fact, advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the reliability of manufacturing processes. Gartner research reveals some of the top technological trends of 2022:

The last two years have been challenging for manufacturers is certainly an understatement. Unfortunately, 2022 is predicted to be a continuation of those problems. This article looks at two of the most critical: shortages in workers and the supply chain slowdown.
Today, every OEM is facing supply chain and labor shortages when trying to maintain production schedules. Having separate manufacturers supply various services along the process chain with ancillary support services can help ease the burdens the lack of workers and material can cause. Additionally, multi-service suppliers help reduce time and cost because of the efficiency of working with one supplier versus multiple.
When you are an OEM, selecting the best supplier for your parts is essential to the overall quality of your product and your profitability. After all, part production in the supply chain is a significant factor in your manufacturing process’ overall cost. For that reason, working with a reliable, responsive, and cost-efficient supplier is one of the most critical decisions an OEM can make.
Since Henry Ford and the assembly line, manufacturers have embraced change that make their operations more effective. Over the years advancements like CAD drawings to robotics have driven processes to be more efficient. The following are factors that are transforming the world of industry.
