Drilling, boring and optional finishing routes
Deep Hole Drilling & Boring Machines Configured Around the Starting Bore
Review the solid or existing bore, finished diameter, depth, stock allowance, rotation, support arrangement and inspection requirements before selecting a machine family.
When to Review a Drilling & Boring Route
This family is considered for long workpieces that require drilling, enlargement, boring or a combined route. The starting bore and material to remove are as important as the finished size.
Good starting fit
- Long cylindrical parts
- A bore requiring drilling and/or enlargement
- Workpieces needing controlled support and guidance
- Projects with defined allowance and inspection requirements
Review alternatives or special engineering when
- Only light final finishing remains
- Thin-wall parts lack adequate support
- Interrupted or non-cylindrical features affect the tool path
- The incoming bore condition or allowance is unknown
Inputs That Define the Machine and Process Route
Starting condition and material
- Solid, cast, forged, drilled or rough-bored condition
- Starting and finished diameters, depth and allowance
- Material, hardness, wall thickness, OD, weight and rigidity
- Drill, bore, counter-bore, trepan or rolling requirement
Support, quality and production
- Tool, workpiece or combined rotation
- Center height, rests, clamping, guide and sealing
- Roundness, cylindricity, straightness, surface and inspection method
- Coolant, filtration, chip removal, loading and output
Reference Configurations for Initial Comparison
| Reference configuration | Drilling diameter | Maximum boring diameter | Reference depth |
|---|
| TK2120 × 2 m | Ø30–80 mm | Ø200 mm | 2,000 mm |
| TK2120A × 2 m | Ø30–100 mm | Ø200 mm | 2,000 mm |
These are current reference values, not a universal capability envelope. Geometry, surface, accuracy and cycle results depend on starting bore, material, allowance, tool, coolant, support and inspection length.
The Finished Diameter Does Not Select the Machine by Itself
Starting from solid
Review drilling method, guidance and chip evacuation.
Starting from an existing bore
Review allowance, incoming geometry and boring tool access.
Requiring final surface work
Decide whether rolling, SRB or honing belongs in the same or a following process.
Long or heavy workpiece
Define rotation, supports, center height, loading and safety boundaries.
Define the Acceptance Method Before Quoting Performance
Identify the sample workpiece, starting condition, tool, allowance, measurement length, datum, instrument, temperature condition and permissible results. Values without those conditions remain references, not guarantees.

Drilling & Boring FAQ
What is the difference between drilling and boring?
Drilling creates or opens a hole. Boring enlarges or corrects an existing bore. A project may use one or both operations.
Can rolling be included after boring?
A combined route may be reviewed when material, allowance, wall condition and target surface are compatible. It is not assumed for every workpiece.
Why must the starting bore be measured?
Allowance and incoming geometry affect tool selection, supports, passes and achievable results.
Are reference roundness or roughness values contractual?
No. They become contractual only in signed project documents with the workpiece and inspection conditions.
