Deep Hole Drilling - How it works, when to use it, what is it?
DEEP HOLE DRILLING
This category includes Drilling that is performed at depths GREATER than 6 times the diameter of the hole in a single stroke.
This includes all forms of Deep Hole Drilling, for example: Gun Drilling, Single Tube System (STS or BTA), and Ejector methods.
This excludes conventional drilling by "pecking" to clear chips using twist drills.

What is CNC Plasma Cutting?
CNC Plasma cutting is used to cut shapes and contours through the full thickness of flat sheet or plate metal and through the wall thickness of sections such as pipes and structural beams. It is this output of a 2 dimensional profile or a profiled section that has earned Plasma Cutting it’s general categorisation as a “Profiling” process. -
What types of Anodising are there, and which materials can you Anodise?
Anodising is used to increase surface hardness, wear resistance and dielectric strength of metals such as Aluminium, Titanium and Magnesium. -
EDM Spark Erosion explained - What is it? How does it work?
This category encompasses EDM Spark Erosion where a machined die is used to remove material from the workpiece, this die is progressively moved around or sunk through the workpiece. -
CNC Drilling process explained
This category encompasses automated Drilling performed on a computer numerically controlled drilling machine, similar to a milling machine, but utilised primarily for drilling operations.Typically optimised for high feed rates and thus productivity in the drilling of multiple holes in the manufacture of filter plates, heat exchanger tube sheets etc. -
