Boring machines are used to mill, drill, bore, cut threads or face turn using a rotating tool, usually a cutter, drill, boring rod or milling head. Boring machines are used to drill closed and open openings in solid material, boring, reaming, threading, milling surfaces, etc. Drill bits, reamers, thread cutters, milling cutters and other tools are used to perform these operations.
One type of boring machine is a horizontal boring machine with a horizontal spindle. Movement along individual axes needed for the work cycle is performed by a CNC control system. During boring operations the chip flow can be critical, particularly when deep holes are being machined. The centrifugal force presses the chips outward.
With boring, this means that the chips remain in the workpiece. The remaining chips could get pressed into the machined surface or get jammed and damage the tool, As with internal turning, tools with an internal cutting fluid supply are recommended. The chips will then be flushed out of the hole effectively.
Compressed air can be used instead of cutting fluid and with trough holes; the chips can be blown through the spindle and collected in a container. The workpiece may be supported in a chuck or fastened to a faceplate for boring operations the chip
