Boring Machines
Boring Machines - Vertical/Misc.
Boring machines miscellaneous can be for a single hole to be drilled or multiple horizontal or vertical holes, when the fixed spacing of 32mm apart is not required. Some of these machines can drill horizontally and vertically at the same time. The main use for this style of machine is to drill either a single hole in a part or to drill multiple holes all over the part in a single operation. Some of these machines will also drill at angles this is especially useful for the chair industry, but this will be discussed under chair making equipment. In most cases, the piece of wood is placed on a table and the operator presses a button or a foot pedal and a "hold down" will hold the part in place while the part is being drilled. Either the table will go up and drilling heads stay stationary, or the table stays stationary and all the heads come down, drilling the holes in the appropriate place. Most of these machines have a number of motors on the top, or in the case of a horizontal machine, on the side, which are connected by belts to the individual drills that are required. Some of these machines will be air operated or hydraulic for the movement of the table. Hydraulic, in most cases, will be used when multiple large holes are required. These machines are quite difficult to set up.
