—Boring

Boring always involves the enlarging of an existing hole, which may have been made by a drill or may be the result of a core in a casting.
An equally important and concurrent purpose of boring may be to make the hole concentric with the axis of rotation of the workpiece and thus correct any eccentricity that may have resulted from the drill drifting off the centerline. Concentricity is an important attribute of bored holes.
When boring is done in a lathe, the work usually is held in a chuck or on a faceplate. Holes may be bored straight, tapered, or to irregular contours.

Boring is essentially internal turning while feeding the tool parallel to the rotation axis of the workpiece.
