What is Gun Drilling?
Gun drilling, also called precision hole drilling, is a specialized technique for creating deep holes in metal by using an elongated, slender cutting tool. Gun drilling is a proven method to produce holes with high depth-to-diameter ratios, typically ranging from 1 to 50 mm [0.04 to 2.00 in] in diameter.
Unlike traditional twist drills, gun drills feature a distinctive head design with a single effective cutting edge. This unique geometry allows the tool to efficiently remove metal chips as it penetrates deeper into the workpiece, making it suitable for deep hole drilling applications.
Benefits of Precision Deep Hole Gun Drilling
- Exceptional Depth-to-Diameter Ratios: Achieve holes up to 100 times deeper than their diameter, enabling unique design possibilities for your projects.
- Superior Straightness: Gun drilling tools maintain exceptional accuracy even in very deep holes to guarantee precise alignment for critical components.
- Excellent Surface Finish: Our gun drilling process produces smooth inner surfaces, reducing the need for secondary finishing operations and saving time and costs.
- Consistent Hole Diameter: Maintain tight tolerances throughout the entire length of the hole, crucial for applications requiring precise fits or fluid flow.
- Efficient Cooling Channels: Create complex cooling systems in molds and dies to enhance thermal management and improve product quality.
- Reduced Tool Wear: High-pressure coolant delivery in gun drilling extends tool life, leading to more consistent results and lower production costs.
- Minimal Deviation: Achieve straighter holes compared to conventional drilling methods, critical for applications like firearm barrels or precision instruments.
- Enhanced Part Integrity: The gun drilling process minimizes internal stresses to reduce the risk of part deformation or failure in high-stress applications.
- Cost-Effective for Long Runs: While initial setup may take time, gun drilling is highly efficient for long production runs, offering economies of scale for larger projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gun drilling in machining?
Gundrilling, also called precision hole drilling, is a machining technique for drilling holes in a workpiece beyond the capability of conventional drills. Gun drill machining can produce deep holes in a workpiece with high depth-to-diameter ratios, typically ranging from 1 to 50 mm [0.04 to 2.00 in] in diameter.
What is the gun drilling process?
Gun drilling involves taking a gun drill bit with a small hold in the center to perform deep cuts. During the cutting process, high-pressure oil is injected through the center hole to force the escape of the excess material. The drill bit has a portion of its diameter removed for further evacuation of excess material.
