What Is a Horizontal Boring Machine?
A horizontal boring machine offers many options for woodworkers and metal workers for drilling horizontal and angled holes into their work. This machine is preferred over other drilling tools because of its precision and ability to drill deep holes. Its unique construction sets it apart from most shop tools in its appearance and in its service. The doweling process is made simple because of this machine and its abilities. On first glance, a horizontal boring machine looks a lot like a drill press turned on its side. There are many differences, but both tools serve the same primary function of boring out holes in metal and wood through the use of a movable drill that bores directly into the material. A drill press is quite limited in its abilities because it creates only vertical holes. Horizontal boring machines offer many more drilling options.
