What is a Boring machine?

A boring machine is a machine tool for expanding holes made with a drill or the like (this is called boring). Boring can be done with a milling machine, machining center, turret lathe, etc., but it seems that boring machines are often used when machining large workpieces or deep holes. The tool used for boring is called a ""boring bar"". There are many types, such as those that can handle deep holes and those that are made of carbide.

Application of Boring machine

Boring machines are used to boring workpieces that cannot be machined by other machine tools, such as lathes and machining centers. For example, in the case of a lathe, only the size that can be grasped by the spindle chuck can be machined. Even if you can grasp it, if there is a part that interferes when the boring bar is brought to the work piece, it will be impossible to process. Many boring machines have a wide touring zone, so they can be used for machining various workpieces.
