Q. What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal boring machine?

Answer

One key distinction between horizontal and vertical boring mills is that in the former the workpiece remains fixed as the tool rotates. While the workpiece rotates the vertical boring mill's tool remains fixed. In contrast to vertical mills a horizontal boring mill is more adaptable since it can handle a wider range of component sizes. The primary distinction between horizontal and vertical boring machines is the orientation of their spindles. While the tools rotate the workpiece remains steady in a horizontal boring mill. In a vertical boring mill the workpiece is rotated while the tooling is held in place.
