Horizontal Boring Machines - HBM

Horizontal Boring Machines - HBM - In a horizontal boring machine, the main spindle which is responsible for the necessary cutting is horizontal. The horizontal boring machine is med for boring holes and machining facings on work where the holes are too large to be dealt with on a drilling machine, and the shape of work is not suitable for handling on a lathe or vertical boring mill.

The horizontal boring machine can handle medium to very large sized parts, but these parts are usually somewhat regular in shape, though they may be asymmetrical or irregular.
