Summary: Shaping and finishing surfaces by abrasion.              

Boring bars are cutting tools used on lathes or boring machines to enlarge and finish the inside diameter of a hole. They are essential for creating precise internal dimensions and smooth surface finishes. Here's a more detailed explanation:

Function: A boring bar holds a cutting insert or tool bit and is designed to reach into a hole to remove material as the workpiece rotates. This process is called boring.

Types: Boring bars come in various sizes, shapes, and materials, designed for different hole diameters, depths, and materials. Some are solid, while others are adjustable or have replaceable cutting inserts.

Use: Boring bars are used to:

    * Enlarge holes to a specific size.

    * Improve the roundness and straightness of holes.

    * Create internal tapers or other shapes.

    * Achieve a smooth surface finish inside a hole.

Boring bars are crucial tools in machining for creating accurate and high-quality internal features in workpieces.
