How many types of horizontal boring machines are there?

Several methods exist for boring machining. The primary methods are outlined and explained below:

1. Horizontal Boring: Horizontal boring is the prevailing method of boring machining, typically carried out on a lathe or a horizontal milling machine. During horizontal boring, the boring bar moves along the axis of the workpiece, making it well-suited for boring holes in elongated workpieces.

2. Vertical Boring: Vertical boring is performed using a vertical milling machine, CNC router, or drill press, where the boring bar moves perpendicular to the floor.

3. Precision Boring: Precision boring machines are specifically designed for boring and are smaller compared to lathes or milling machines. Due to their compact size, precision boring machines are most suitable for boring small parts that demand excellent surface finishes and utmost precision. For instance, watch components are commonly bored using a precision boring machine known as a watchmaker's lathe.
