Boring is a collective word for various processes used to enlarge holes that are readily drilled or cast on a surface. Typically, the boring process uses single-pointed cutting tools such as gun barrels and engine cylinders. In a modern boring exercise, the process should yield a uniformly cutout hole with a greater detail of accuracy. In modern fabrication, various boring milling machines and techniques are used in reworking the holes in both wood and metal works.
Boring techniques
Whether working on metal, wood or any other material of choice, deploying the right technique goes a long way in helping you achieve your targets. Each of these techniques can be easily achieved through the standard workshop boring tools or a combination of advanced techniques and tools. The two commonly used boring tools are line and back boring.
Line boring involves the use of various tools to expand an existing through hole. It may also be used in bringing blind holes to shape and size. When working on blind holes, care should be taken to ensure that the hole is aligned with the original position of the hole, especially in projects where high precision is required. With the aid of the right boring milling machines and various metal and wood working skills, the bored hole should be smooth, and well refined as per the user requirements.
An alternative approach to line boring is back boring which involves establishing an existing through or blind hole then expanding it from either side. As the name dictates, the boring process is completed from the back side of the work piece.
The epicenter of every great piece of finely bored work piece is a rich resource. Lately, such resources have become actualized through boring milling machines. It is in this understanding that TOS America stocks the most precise boring machines for every project. For the details, feel free reaching to us.
