Holemaking is the most common of all machining operations. It's also one of the more challenging. Without the right cutting tool, productivity and part quality will suffer while manufacturing costs soar. Here are some tips on avoiding these problems and selecting the right tool for the job.

Hole boring goes hand in hand with drilling. A common machining operation, boring uses a single-point or sometimes a dual-head cutting tool to remove material in a manner that’s quite similar to external turning. Due to deflection and chip control problems, however, boring can be quite challenging without the right tool and knowledge of sound machining practices.

Flat bottom holes are a common feature in a variety of machined parts. Unfortunately, accurately and efficiently machining them can be pretty challenging. Many machinists attempt to tackle this problem with hand-ground drill bits or end mills, with mixed results. The best solution in most cases is to leverage a KTFS-style or comparable high-quality drill bit designed specifically for flat bottom drilling.
