  2. John Wilkinson (industrialist) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wilkinson_(industrialist)

    His development of a machine tool for boring cast iron cannons presaged the accurate boring of cylinders for the first Watt steam engines. He also improved the air supply for the blast furnace using a new design of bellows , and was the first to use wrought iron in canal barges.

  3. Boring (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring_(manufacturing)

    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.

  4. Machine tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_tool

    James Watt was unable to have an accurately bored cylinder for his first steam engine, trying for several years until John Wilkinson invented a suitable boring machine in 1774, boring Boulton & Watt's first commercial engine in 1776. [8] [9] The advance in the accuracy of machine tools can be traced to Henry Maudslay and refined by Joseph ...

  5. Jig borer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jig_borer

    It resembles a specialized kind of milling machine that provides tool and die makers with a higher degree of positioning precision (repeatability) and accuracy than those provided by general machines. Although capable of light milling, a jig borer is more suited to highly accurate drilling, boring, and reaming, where the quill or headstock does ...

  7. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(engine)

    Cylinder liners (also known as sleeves) are thin metal cylinder-shaped parts which are inserted into the engine block to form the inner wall of the cylinder. [4] [5] Alternatively, an engine can be 'sleeveless', where the cylinder walls are formed by the engine block with a wear-resistant coating, such as Nikasil or plasma-sprayed bores.

  8. Horizontal boring machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_boring_machine

    A horizontal boring machine has its work spindle parallel to the ground and work table. Typically there are three linear axes in which the tool head and part move. Convention dictates that the main axis that drives the part towards the work spindle is the Z axis, with a cross-traversing X axis and a vertically traversing Y axis.

  9. Tunnel boring machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_boring_machine

    One of the boring machines used for the Channel Tunnel between France and the United Kingdom. A tunnel boring machine (TBM), also known as a "mole" or a "worm", is a machine used to excavate tunnels. Tunnels are excavated through hard rock, wet or dry soil, or sand, each of which requires specialized technology.
