There are several cases when a tube needs to have holes drilled in it, but it is most commonly done to allow components to be attached together as part of a larger product. The holes need to be properly positioned so they line up, allowing the bolts or rivets to hold the pieces together. If they don’t line up, the part will be unusable and need to be remade.

With the summer nights starting to feel a little cooler, many of us have considered giving our home heating systems a test run ahead of the winter. It is always advisable to do this around the end of August or during September, as this lets you know that it’s working as it should be before you need it. In most cases it turns out to be running as expected, but there’s always going to be a few who find that their home central heating needs to be repaired or replaced. Continue reading →

CNC machining has revolutionised manufacturing but there is one area that it has not has a big impact on: tubing. Tubes are still best made using more traditional techniques such as bending, rolling and manipulation. These allow products to be made efficiently, to a high standard, and cost effectively.

Drilling holes in tubing requires the utmost precision and accuracy. The rounded surface presents many challenges and means the tube needs to be secured in place to prevent it from rotating. Even more care needs to be taken with thin walled tubes, because these are more susceptible to damage. It is better to hire an experienced specialist to do the job rather than attempting it yourself. Slipping when trying to drill is hazardous and could cause injury to the worker, as well as damaging the tube. Continue reading →
