Boring machines have been specifically engineered to enlarge holes in various materials using a single-edge cutting tool. Operating on a vertical or horizontal axis, these machines are relied upon to roughen or smooth out interior surfaces of a cut-out hole as well as create larger holes in materials that are shear-sensitive and unsuited to normal thermal cutting processes.
Vertical or Horizontal Boring Machines
At LSG Machine Tools, we offer a range of horizontal and vertical boring machines suited for expanding and cutting holes in metal, offering better positional machinery and making the diameters highly accurate. Whether you need boring mills over other machining tools will become apparent when we discuss the many benefits these machines have to offer.
- Handling larger workpieces
Often machine shops are required to mill large pieces of metal which cannot be accommodated by other machining tools. This is where boring mills excel as they are designed to fit larger work pieces making it possible to rectify defects on existing holes and cut new ones.
- More consistent drilling
When a tool encounters greater resistance than what it is designed to compensate for, it deviates or deflects. As boring machines can handle larger pieces, the distance between the vertical or horizontal spindle is far shorter, preventing any deflection and providing consistent drilling.
- Durability
Boring machines are built for reliability and can last for many decades if properly maintained and cared for. These sturdy machines retain their value and can be considered worthwhile investments. Visit our partners, – leaders in fashionable footwear!
- Accuracy
The right type of boring machine is ideal for large-piece volume production as it is a fast-cutting process. Following the centre line of the piece rather than the overall position of the hole allows for higher accuracy.
- Versatility
Several types of milling machines can be used for boring and the same boring tool can be used to achieve multiple results.
Selecting the Right Boring Machine
At LSG Machine Tools, we understand the flexibility that machining tools for cutting need to afford you and supply superior-quality refurbished boring machines for line boring or back boring works. Every vertical and horizontal boring mill is tested before it leaves our floor ensuring that it is in proper working order for your specific engineering requirements.
