We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Deep Hole Drilling",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CNC sliding head lathes do all jobs under 32mm from
Star Micronics GB, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sub contract machinist reckoned that there are no components under 32mm diamter that can not be machined on the multi-axis CNC sliding head lathes operated by the company".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Deep hole drilling at high penetration rates from
Mitsubishi Carbide: "Carbide drills for drilling holes up to 30 x diameter have a 'wave' type cutting edge for improved penetration and a decrease in tooling load".
In November 2007, we covered the news from TaeguTec UK
concerning its Deep-hole drilling head inserts
- take a look at Inserts supplier change betters deep-hole drilling
which says: "A deep-hole drilling head is machining holes to size consistently while the need to change inserts has fallen dramatically since switching to different inserts".
Take a look also at the news release from Precihole Machine Tools, Machine deep-hole drills up to 30m depth,
as well as Metal cutting tooling to boost productivity from Iscar Tools,
and Latest HMCs machine compacted graphite iron from Heller Machine Tools.
