Pull Boring Services: Precision Internal Diameter Enhancement Solutions

Hole Specialists, Inc. is an industry leader in gun drilling, deep hole drilling, pull bore, trepan, and honing services since 1993. At Hole Specialists, Inc., we combine these core capabilities with state-of-the-art equipment, rigorous quality control, and decades of expertise to deliver superior results for our clients. Our comprehensive quality management system ensure consistent excellence across all services.

Pull boring is a specialized machining process that enhances and repairs internal diameters of cylindrical components. This technique uses precision boring tools pulled through the workpiece to achieve superior surface finish and geometric accuracy. Pull boring is particularly effective for long bores requiring high precision and excellent straightness, commonly used in hydraulic cylinder manufacturing and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pull boring?
Pull boring is a precision machining process that uses specialized tooling to enhance and repair internal diameters of cylindrical components. It’s particularly effective for long bores requiring high precision.
Pull boring provides superior surface finish, excellent straightness, and precise diameter control. It’s ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and exceptional cylindricity.
We can pull bore most engineering materials including various grades of steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and exotic alloys.
Pull boring often achieves better surface finish and straightness than traditional boring methods, particularly in long components.
We typically achieve straightness tolerances of 0.001″ per foot and diameter tolerances of ±0.0005″ depending on the application.
