Introduction In the manufacturing and machining industry, the terms drilling and reboring are often used interchangeably. However, these two terms refer to different processes that are used for different purposes. Drilling is a process of creating holes in a workpiece, whereas reboring is a process of enlarging an existing hole. While both processes involve the use of a cutting tool and the removal of material, they differ in terms of the equipment used, the technique applied, and the result produced. In this article, we will explore the differences between drilling and reboring, the applications of each process, and the types of machines used for these operations. Drilling Machines Drilling is a process of creating holes in a workpiece using a rotating cutting tool, called a drill bit. The drill bit is made of high-speed steel or carbide, and it is attached to the spindle of a drilling machine. A drilling machine is a machine tool that is used to drill holes in a workpiece.
