Horizontal Boring Mill – What Boring Mill Machining Delivers
A horizontal boring mill machines workpieces with a horizontally arranged boring spindle. The three CNC boring mills TOS-Varnsdorf WHN 13 combine boring, milling, line boring, facing and thread cutting in a single machine – ideal for components with precise bores, fit bores and positional references over large distances.
The powerful boring spindle with Ø 130 mm and travel paths of 3,500 × 2,500 × 1,200 mm open up a generous working envelope. Combined with the rotary table, several workpiece faces are machined in a single setup – this minimises re-clamping errors and ensures tight positional tolerances between bores and surfaces.
Three identical machines mean genuine capacity: parallel production of multiple orders, short lead times and redundancy for time-critical projects. Programming is based on CAD data or drawing dimensions – single parts, prototypes and small batches alike, as contract manufacturing with no minimum order quantities.
The machinery at Bock is strategically set up: equipment and tools are selected so that almost any component can be machined and every customer requirement met individually and in the best possible way. Which machine processes your part is determined by your specification – this allocation is part of our manufacturing know-how and takes the selection entirely off your hands.
After boring mill machining, components can be passed directly on to welding, shot blasting and painting – all within the same manufacturing facility in Lorch. External logistics between the machining steps are eliminated, noticeably reducing lead times and overall costs.

Typical Applications of Boring Mill Machining
The horizontal boring mills at Bock are used for:
- Housings, bearing blocks and consoles with precise fit bores
- Welded assemblies with aligned bores and bearing bores
- Base plates, frames and cross members with bore patterns over large distances
- Components for plant, vehicle and special machinery engineering
- Pre-machined blanks as a manufacturing stage for welded structures
Machined components can be welded, blasted and painted in the same facility. For particularly long or large-surface parts, portal milling and travelling-column machines up to 26,000 mm are additionally available – you receive the complete machining and manufacturing spectrum from a single source, without external logistics between the machining steps. Quality documentation and dimensional reports to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 are available as standard.
Materials for Boring Mill Machining
Bock uses predominantly European quality steels:
- Structural steel S235, S355
- Fine-grain structural steel to S1100 – high-strength, weldable
- Hardox 400 / 500 – wear-resistant steel
- Stainless steel 1.4301, 1.4571 – corrosion-resistant
- Special steels to drawing and customer specification
Material certificates are provided on request or according to project requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions on Boring Mill Machining
What is a horizontal boring mill?
A horizontal boring mill machines workpieces with a horizontally arranged boring spindle. It combines boring, line boring, milling, facing and thread cutting in a single machine – ideal for precise bores and positional references on large components.
How large may the components be?
The travel paths of the TOS-Varnsdorf WHN 13 CNC are X 3,500 · Y 2,500 · Z 1,200 mm. Which machine processes your component we match to your requirements – for particularly long or large-format parts, portal milling and travelling-column machines up to 26,000 mm are additionally available. This way, every component finds the right machine.
Which materials are machined?
Structural steel S235/S355, fine-grain structural steel to S1100, Hardox 400/500 as well as stainless steel 1.4301/1.4571 and special steels to drawing. We provide material certificates on a project basis.
Do you also manufacture single parts?
Yes. Boring mill machining is carried out as contract manufacturing with no minimum order quantities – single parts, prototypes and small batches alike, programmed from CAD data or drawing dimensions.
