The Difference Between Boring Machine And Milling Machine

The working principle and properties of a boring machine and a milling machine are similar. The rotation of the tool is the main motion, and the movement of the workpiece is the feed motion.

Boring machines are mostly used to process long through holes, large-diameter stepped holes, and holes in different positions on large box parts. Due to the high rigidity of the cutter head and boring bar of the boring machine, the straightness, cylindricity and position of the machined hole are all high.

Milling machines can also perform boring, but the machining range is smaller and the accuracy is lower. Milling machines are mostly used for processing planes, forming surfaces, grooves, etc.

The radial drill is a highly efficient hole processing machine, because its spindle can move quickly and arbitrarily within the processing range, while the workpiece is fixed. Therefore, it is very efficient to process holes and screw holes in different positions on large box parts.
