Horizontal Boring Mills

A Horizontal Boring Mill holds the workpiece stationary on a vertical table whose position can be adjusted. The machine has its work spindle parallel to the ground and work table. Typically there are 3 linear axes in which the tool head and part can move. 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. The work spindle is referred to as the C-axis and, if a Rotary Table is incorporated, its centre line is the B-axis.
