What is CNC Boring? A Simple Guide

Ever wondered how engine blocks, aircraft components, or giant gear housings end up with flawlessly smooth, perfectly sized holes? That hidden hero is CNC boring, a computer-guided finishing step that enlarges and refines pre-drilled holes to micrometer-level accuracy. By shaving off just thousandths of an inch, CNC boring delivers the tight tolerances, mirror-like finishes, and reliable fits that keep everything from car pistons to hydraulic cylinders running true. Dive into our quick guide to see how this precision process works, why manufacturers depend on it, and where the technology is headed next.
