What are the different types of boring bars?
three general types of boring bars: high speed steel, brazed carbide, and indexablecarbide. The benefits of HSS are that it is cheaper and tougher. The benefits of carbide are that it can tolerate much more heat (i.e. it can cut 2.5 – 5 times faster than HSS), and it has a modulus of rigidity that is about 2.5 times greater than steel.

How do you read boring bars?
The first letter of the code refers to the material that the boring bar is made from and whether it is solid or has through coolant capabilities. If this is an 'S' (like the above), this means it is made from steel which is ideal for general purpose boring or for those on a budget.
What is difference between drilling and boring?
Drilling is the primary process used to create the hole, while boring is a secondary process that can enlarge or finish a preexisting hole. As the size of the initial hole is entirely dependent on the drill bit, boring can be a vital step in creating a hole closer to required tolerances.

Boring (manufacturing) A part's-eye view of a boring bar. In machining, boring is the process of enlarging a hole that has already been drilled (or cast) by means of a single-point cutting tool (or of a boring head containing several such tools), such as in boring a gun barrel or an engine cylinder. Boring is used to achieve greater accuracy of ...
