The operation of enlarging of a hole is called

  1. boring

  2. counter sinking

  3. drilling

  4. reaming

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Boring is the operation of enlarging an already existing hole to achieve precise diameter and surface finish. Drilling creates a hole from solid material. Counter sinking creates a conical seat for screw heads. Reaming slightly enlarges and finishes a hole for close tolerance. Only boring specifically enlarges an existing hole.

AI explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the different operations related to machining processes.

Option A) Boring - This option is correct. Boring is the operation of enlarging a hole using a single-point cutting tool. It is commonly used to increase the size of an existing hole or to achieve a specific tolerance or surface finish.

Option B) Counter sinking - This option is incorrect. Counter sinking is the operation of creating a conical recess at the top of a hole to accommodate the head of a screw or bolt.

Option C) Drilling - This option is incorrect. Drilling is the operation of creating a hole in a workpiece using a rotating cutting tool called a drill bit.

Option D) Reaming - This option is incorrect. Reaming is the operation of finishing and sizing a hole that has already been drilled or bored, using a tool called a reamer.

The correct answer is A) boring. This option is correct because boring is the operation specifically used for enlarging a hole.
