🔧 What Is Drill Bit Boring?
Drill bit boring refers to the use of specialized drill bits in stationary machines—such as boring machines, CNC routers, or drill presses—to create accurate, clean holes in wood, plastic, or even metal. These boring bits are different from standard drill bits used in handheld tools. They’re engineered for high precision, high speed, and repeated use in industrial or workshop environments.
