A boring mill is a machine used to drill holes in large solid rocks and other solid workpieces.
It rotates a long drill bit attached to a rotating spindle. The spindle typically consists of a motor attached to a long shaft. The motor drives the spindle, which spins the drill bit. The bit is then lowered into the material, which is then cut into smaller pieces that can be removed.
Here are four great advantages why you should use it in your projects.
Process Huge Workpieces
Horizontal boring mills are able to process large and dense workpieces because they use a grinding mechanism that is able to remove stock for processing without encountering the bulk material.
One of the ways they do this is by using a horizontal milling spindle that can rotate in two planes. This allows the milling spindle to move back and forth in one plane while the other horizontal spindle moves up and down in the other plane.
Reduced Tool Deflection
Boring mills reduce tool deflection by applying an axial force to the tool.
An axial force is a force that acts through a line that is parallel to the axis of an object. This force is created when the tool is cut into the workpiece. This force helps keep the tool cutting in a straight line without bending, which would cause tool deflection.
Exceptional Sturdiness and Reliability
Steel is generally used to build the sturdiest horizontal boring mills available. Steel has high tensile strength and can also be welded to create a stronger machine.
Other manufacturers use aluminum as a cheaper alternative. Aluminum is a lightweight metal, which can make up for its less-reliable strength with lighter weight, making it a good choice for milling over large areas.
Faster Turnaround Times
Boring mills are used to make accurate, round holes in metal sheets. These mills are used in all kinds of industries to finish metal by removing excess material or adding material to the desired shape. With an accurate and repeatable design, manufacturers achieve faster turnaround times with boring mills.
