 CLASSIFICATION
OF BORING MACHINES
 The boring machine is one of the versatile machine tool used
to enlarge already drilled hole.
 boring operation can be performed on lathe as that of turning.
Where tool is stationary and workpiece is rotating. but in case
of boaring tool(boaring) is rotating and workpiece is stationary
which is similar to drilling, reaming, milling etc.
 Boring machines can be classified as follows based on position
of boring tool, accuracy of work required, etc.
(1)Horizontal boring machine
(2)Vertical boring machine
(3)precision(jig)boring machine
HORIZONTAL BORING
MACHINE(HBM)
Block diagram of horizontal boring
machine
•Horizontal boring machines contains the majority of boring machines used in mass
production.
•Here boring tool is rotating while the workpiece is stationary.
Workpiece is mounted on the table which can be moved with the help of cross-slide and
saddle.

•Applications: Horizontal boring machines can be used to drill, bore ream holes.
these are widely used in batch production where workpiece quantity is less.
•These machines can also be used for machining housing type parts, like gear boxes, engine
blocks.
•Important features of the horizontal boring machines are shown in fig
(1)Head stock(2)column(3)runways(4)end support(5)table(6)saddle.

1.Head stock:
•It is the most important part of a boring machine
•It contains spindles. it also supports, drives and feeds the boring tool.
•The spindle rotation is reversible for backing out tools.
•Boring tool is held in boring head which will be held in head stock.
2.column:
 Column supports head stock and tail stock. it guides up and down movement by
means of ways.
 It is hollow and heavily constructed. To balance head stock and make it easy to
move.
3.Runways:
 Main functions of runways are to carry the main column, end support column and
rotary table if any.
 Whenever the column is traversing the base used is known as runway. Else it will
be used as base.
4.End support column:
 An out-board bearing is required to support the other end of the bar is known as end
support column.
 End support column is necessary in case of long boring bars and heavy tools are
used.
 There is an open and a closed type of end support.
5:Table:
•Main functions of table is to support for holding the workpiece rigidly
during the operation.
•Table is equipped with suitable ranges of feeds as well as quick
reverse mechanism.
•Table moves perpendicular to the axis of the spindle.

6.Saddle:
•The main function of saddle is to provide a compound Movement of
the table.
•This help the table to move axially as well as transversely to the
spindle.
VERTICAL BORING
MACHINE(VBH)
Block diagram of vertical boring
machine
 Vertical boaring machines will be used In case
of length of the workpiece is less than the
diameter.
 Here the cutting tool is stationary and mounted
in the tool head. tool head can be moved
linearly or upward and downward motion to
reach near to the workpiece.
 The workpiece is mounted on the table, which
is rotating.
 Two columns are used to have rigid support to
the tool head.
Applications:
 Vertical boring machine is used to machine
inside and outside diameters.
 VBM can also be used for facing large size
workpiece.
 Different products are turbine castings,
pressure vessels, tables for machine tools, gear
blank etc.are machined on vertical boring
machine.
PRECISION(JIG)BORING
MACHINE(PBM):
Block diagram of precision(jig)
boring machine
 Precision or jig boring machine is used in high accuracy tool
room applications.
 Different machining components include jigs, fixtures, gauges
etc.
 The table is mounted on cross-slide and saddle for compound
movement of the workpiece.
 These machines are costlier. Hence used only in big machine
shops, where accuracy is required.
 These machines are also available with numerical control
systems.
 These machines are also available with numerical control
systems.
 These machines are provided with various accessories.
BORING TOOL AND BORING
BAR
 Boring tool is a single point cuting tool held in a tool
holder known as boring bar.
 Size of the boring bar should be such as to provide
maximum rigidity. It should also permit sufficient
clearance for disposal of chips.
 Normally boring bar diameter is 70% of bore
diameter.
 As the boring bar has to reach the whole length of the
job, and it is overhanging, the different problems like
deflection, vibration, chatter etc will be there because
of this dimensional accuracy cannot be maintained.
 BORING MACHINE
SPECIFICATIONS:
 Boring machines are specified based on different
terms as follows:
(1)Spindle diameter:-
This gives an idea about maximum diameter
of the tool that can be held rigidly.
(2)Size of the table, bed:-
This dimension helps in deciding maximum
workpiece dimensions.
(3)Number of speeds and length of feed available.
(4)Spindle power available.
(5)Motor power, etc.
