Chucking reamers, or machine reamers, are the most common type of reamer used in lathes, drill presses, and screw machines that provide a smooth finish to the hole. They come in a variety of flutes and cuts (e.g. right hand cut, left hand spiral, straight flute) as well as different shank types.
A part's-eye view of a boring bar. Hole types: Blind hole (left), through hole (middle), interrupted hole (right). In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder.
Heavy-duty roller cones hole opener used for offshore drilling. A hole opener is a device used to enlarge the borehole during a well drilling operation. It can be positioned either above the drill bit or above a pilot run inside the existing borehole. Usages range from hydrocarbon drilling operations to water drilling or horizontal drilling.
The boxhole borer (or machine roger) is a variant of a raise borer that is used when there is not enough space on the higher of the two levels to be connected. The boxhole borer is set up on the lower level, drills a pilot hole as a guide, then drives the reamer bit along the pilot hole from the lower level to the upper.
Auto-gauging single-pass honing machine for precise finishing. A honing machine is a precision tool used in machining to improve the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of component. It operates by using abrasive honing tools, which rotate and reciprocate inside the components, typically a cylinder or bore.
An underreamer is a device used to enlarge the borehole below an existing casing or restriction, during a well drilling operation. It can be positioned either above the drill bit or above a pilot assembly run inside the existing borehole. Numerous designs exist, in sizes varying from a couple of inches to above 40".
The first hole is dug on one side of the obstacle. This hole must be large enough to fit the tool and allow the operator to aim it. The hole also must be deep enough so that, as the tool compacts the ground, the surface remains undisturbed. The depth of the starting bore pit depends on the type of soil being worked in and how well it compacts.
A bead roller is a machine tool that makes rigid lines in sheet metal to make surfaces more rugged and durable. The lines bead rollers add to sheet metal prevent warping and disfigurement by adding structural integrity to the metal.
