Honingcraft provides deep hole drilling services. Deep hole drilling is used to remove the core of a solid steel round bar to manufacture highly specialised cylindrical components with a high degree of precision. Deep hole drilling is the preferred method to machine a hole through a solid round bar billet. When engineers and manufacturing businesses need thick-walled cylindrical components to deal with high-pressure applications like in the case of thick-walled hydraulic cylinder barrels, deep hole drilling makes it possible to select from a large variety of standard steel round bars that are readily available from most steel merchants. The steel billet can then be drilled to make a hole through the round bar.
Honingcraft’s machines can manufacture parts from round bars of 600 millimetres in diameter and four metres long. Honingcraft also provides the steel round bar from a trusted network of steel merchants to expand its own stock holding of precision manufacturing steel.
The main uses for such custom cylindrical products are ultra high-pressure hydraulic cylinder barrels, conveyor rollers and dynamometer rolls.
Deep hole drilling projects are complemented by Honingcraft’s high-precision honing department which can improve the surface finish of the inside diameter to a H8 tolerance.
