Portable Align Boring
Portable Align Boring Services for Ontario
WHAT IS ALIGN BORING?
Align boring (which is also known as line boring) is a machining process that is used for repairing damaged and or worn out holes that have already been cast or drilled. The machining process utilizes a cutting tool/s held in a boring bar to offer unmatched accuracy. This method is perfect for making precise bores or holes.
WHAT IS PORTABLE ALIGN BORING?
Portable align boring is simply align boring done on site. It’s not economical and practical to move heavy machinery to a machine shop when the machinery breaks down or needs maintenance/servicing.
It's better to repair the machinery in the field. Portable align boring allows boring to be done on site.

You don’t need to incur unnecessary costs and trouble transporting your heavy machinery to our machine shop. We can bring our align boring services to you.
HOW IT’S DONE
Before boring begins, the housing must be straight to ensure the rotating part doesn’t bend or flex when revolving. The correct centre-line must be established since the outcome of the entire machining process is dependent on that line.
Bores must also be measured carefully for correct alignment and diameter before the boring equipment is attached. The equipment features a long boring bar (with a cutter) running the entire length of the hole to renew roundness and straightness.
The boring process is typically a two-step process. The first process involves boring to approximate dimensions and if required the holes can be built up with our precision automatic bore welder.
The second process is more precise utilizing high precision cutting aids to offer unmatched accuracy in a process referred to as bore honing.
