Drilling is a metal cutting operation by rotating and pressing a multi-point cutting tool to cut a circular round hole in a Work-piece. A multi-point cutting tool is known as a drilling bit. Standard drill bits in various sizes are available in the market.

This article covers the difference between Drilling vs Boring vs Reaming operation and their applications. To understand the difference, let’s first understand what drilling boring and reaming operations are? We suggest you also read this article on machined parts.

Boring is a metal cutting operation to enlarge existing hole diameter by using a single point edge cutting tool. This process is different from drilling operations because boring requires an existing hole.

Reaming operationsteps

Reaming is a cutting operation to enlarge the existing hole diameter to make it more accurate and improve the surface finish. The cutting tool used for reaming is known as Reamer.

Please check the type/dimensions/specifications of the part R210052C514M in the Side Cutter, Milling Cutter, Front Face Milling Cutter series.

Drilling, Boring, and Reaming are types of machining operations. They can create a new hole or modify an existing hole in a workpiece using different types of cutting tools.

We can do Boring operations using drilling, boring, lathe, and milling machines. Tool rotating speed is kept relatively low during boring operations. Examples of boring operations include enlarging holes in casting parts.

The reamer rotates at approximately half RPM of the drilling operation during reaming. Reaming is a finishing operation and does not cut significant material compared to drilling or boring.

We will keep updating more details on the difference between drilling, boring, and reaming operations. Add your comments or questions to what is the difference between drilling vs Boring vs Reaming Operation. Don’t miss this article on jigs and fixtures used in manufacturing operations.

Drilling machines are used to cut a straight hole in metals, plastic, wood, concrete wall, etc. The selection of the type of drill bit depends on the workpiece material. During drilling, the drill bit rotates at a very high rpm.
