What is Gun Drilling?

Gun drilling is a specialist machining process used to produce deep, straight and precisely controlled holes with a high-quality internal surface finish.

The process is particularly suited to components requiring high depth-to-diameter ratios, where conventional drilling methods may not provide the accuracy or bore quality required.

Gun Drilling Capacity

Our gun drilling capabilities accommodate hole diameters from 2mm to 30mm, with component lengths from 10mm up to 1,850mm and a maximum outside diameter of 170mm.

We work with materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium and specialist alloys, supporting a broad range of precision engineering requirements.

Aerospace Gun Drilling

Our precision gun drilling capabilities support specialist aerospace engineering applications where accurate, deep bores and consistent machining are required.

Combined with our wider machining expertise, we can support demanding components requiring precision drilling and a high-quality internal bore finish.

Manual Turning and First Stage Machining

Gun drilling can be supported by our manual turning and first stage machining services, allowing components to be prepared for subsequent drilling, honing or finishing operations.

Our capabilities include turning, boring, facing, drilling and material preparation, helping customers manage multiple machining requirements through a single supplier.

Materials and Component Applications

Our gun drilling services are suitable for components manufactured from steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium and specialist alloys.

We support applications across aerospace, automotive, hydraulics, medical and general engineering, from specialist one-off components to wider production requirements.

Specialist Gun Drilling Capabilities

When assessing UK gun drilling companies, capacity, accuracy and complementary machining capabilities are important considerations.

CA Honemaster combines specialist gun drilling with over 40 years of engineering experience and additional capabilities including deep hole boring, precision honing, manual turning and first stage machining.

This allows us to support customers with complex components requiring more than one specialist machining process.

Quality & Approvals

We take the compliance and that which is defined by ISO 9001 very seriously. 

We use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
