Horizontal Boring

 

Many machine tools have horizontal boring capabilities.  Some machines have boring blocks with horizontal drills, some have aggregate tools with horizontal boring capability, and some have both.

 

The following section is a short tutorial covering some methods that you can use in Router-CIM to make horizontal boring tool paths.  There is also some discussion about setting up offsets and work coordinates depending on the methods of cutting you use and how your machine tool is equipped.
