A boring machine is a mechanical device used for enlarging or making holes in various materials through a rotary cutting motion. These machines are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where precise and large-diameter holes are required. There are different types of boring machines designed for specific applications. Some common types include:
-
Vertical Boring Machine: Also known as a vertical lathe, this machine is used for boring cylindrical holes in large and heavy workpieces that are mounted on a vertical table.
-
Horizontal Boring Machine: This type of machine has a horizontal spindle orientation, and it is used for boring holes in large and heavy workpieces. It can be more versatile than vertical boring machines in certain applications.
-
Line Boring Machine: Used for precision boring of holes in a straight line, typically used in engine blocks, cylinder heads, and other components.
