- Line boring machine – is a very economical equipment that bores holes in heavy construction equipment that includes cranes and end loaders. It is capable of measuring bores using calibrated internal and external micrometers and its sizes range from 50mm to 2000mm in diameter.
- Tunnel boring machine – is capable of drilling a hole in almost everything from hard rock to sand so as produce a smooth tunnel wall. It consists of one or two shields and trailing support mechanisms.
- Horizontal boring machine – is equipment that is considered as a time saver when used to bore holes in highly rigid construction.
- Directional boring machine – is used for the installation of underground pipes, conduits and cables with minimal impact on the surrounding environment
- Cylinder boring machine – is mainly used for re-boring engine cylinders in the automobile industry. It usually has a boring diameter of 65 to 140mm and a spindle speed of 250 rpm and 380 rpm.
- Jig boring machine – is used to locate holes and accurately enlarge these existing holes and make their diameters highly accurate. It can maintain its high accuracy between multiple holes with tolerance of ±005 mm.
- Portable boring machine – is a flexible, powerful and easy to use equipment is available with a pneumatic or hydraulic drive
- Vertical boring machine – is designed for vertical manual drilling with specifications that include a maximum drilling stroke of 2 inches, 220v supply and spindle rotation of 3300 rpm.
- Coupling boring machine – is designed to bore precision couplings
Applications of Boring Milling Machines
- Pile top drilling – is mainly used in medium and hard geological formations. When drilling is done in underwater locations, along the coast, shallow water and deep water, it is called offshore drilling where the challenges are particularly hard like tides, currents, wind and weather which have to be met by Boring Milling Machines.
- Doweling – is used by woodworkers who need to strengthen joints. In doweling, small round but evenly cut sticks of wood called dowels are inserted into perfectly matched holes in corresponding boards which when glued in place can provide strong and durable wood working joint. Doweling can be easier through the doweling jig that is typically made from metal and designed to guide the drill bit into the stock square to the edge of the board.
- Concentric re-boring of holes – on dozers, backhoes and end loaders through Boring Milling Machines like the line borer which is designed for challenging machining applications. It is also designed to make quick work of tough jobs where the space is restricted for other boring machines.
