Vertical and Horizontal Boring Mills

Boring machines are available in many different styles and sizes. Small boring operations can be done on a lathe machine but large pieces require boring mills. Boring mills are used to augment the size of any previous hole in the work-piece. Typically the aim is to obtain the correct degree of accuracy and finish in the final hole. Most work-pieces are about 1 to 4 meters in diameter but they can even be 20 meters. Some boring mills may even require as much as 200 horsepower. The work-piece is kept stationary on a vertical table in a horizontal boring mill whose position can be adjusted while in a vertical boring mill the work-piece is adjusted to turn on a horizontal circular table while the machine tool is pushed in.

Boring Mills Design Considerations

There are a number of design considerations while using boring mills as it decreases product tolerances on holes that already exist. Commonly big length-to-bore diameter hole is not ideal because of cutting tool deflection. End to end holes are favored over blind holes and broken up internal working surfaces where the contact between the surface and cutting tool is discontinuous are also avoided.
