Gundrilling is a deep hole drilling process that uses a long, thin cutting tool to produce holes in metal at high depth-to-diameter ratios.
Firearms are a common application for gun drilling, however, other common uses are mold making, diemaking, medical tooling, plastics/injection moulds, combustion engine components, crankcases, cylinder heads, and musical instruments.
A drilling machine, called a drill press, is used to cut holes into or through metal, wood, or other materials . Drilling machines use a drilling tool that has cutting edges at its point.
Gun drilling is effective in diameters from 1 – 50 mm [0.04 – 2.00 in]. A gundrill tool differs from a conventional twist drill by its unique head geometry; a standard gundrill has a single effective cutting edge that removes chips as it advances into a metal workpiece.
The gundrilling process is able to drill deep holes beyond what is possible with conventional machinery and tooling such as twist drills, by using high pressure coolant for clean chip exhaust, even at extreme depths.
Global gun drilling machine market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Mollart Launch New Generation BTA Machine MOLLART ENGINEERING HAVE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED ITS LATEST GENERATION BTA DEEP HOLE DRILLING MACHINE, THE HD1-3000.
The HD1-3000 adds a truly world class machine to the portfolio of machining capabilities at Mollart Engineering, taking its Subcontract Precision Machining offering to new heights.
The machine’s development was the culmination of over two years of work and dedication. Installed at our Subcontract Precision Machining facility in Chessington, it is already being used to service customer orders and showing impressive results!The HD1-3000 has been developed with a large drilling capacity in order to tackle the most difficult materials.
Its capabilities allow the machine to drill from ranges of 25mm – 150mm in solid drilling, on materials such as Inconel 718 and up to 250mm counter boring, with a capacity of up to 3000 mm long.
