New & Used Boring Mills for Sale in Canada

A table-type boring mill moves the workpiece on a rotating table while the spindle head remains relatively fixed, making it ideal for large, heavy parts. A traveling-column machine moves the entire column along the X-axis, offering extended reach for very long workpieces such as weldments and frames. FEMCO's BMC Series uses the traveling-column design, while FERMAT's WFT Series is table-type.

The boring mills available through T.R. Wigglesworth can handle workpieces ranging from 10 tons up to 40 tons with optional configurations. Table load capacities on FEMCO BMC models reach up to 40,000 lbs, while FERMAT WFT models support standard loads up to 20 tons, optionally up to 40 tons. X-axis travel extends up to 157.5 inches across the range.

These boring mills support multiple CNC control platforms. FERMAT WFT Series models are available with FANUC 31iB, Siemens Sinumeric, or Heidenhain controls with optical absolute linear scales. FEMCO BMC Series machines use FANUC CNC controls including OiMF, 31i B, and FANUC AI Contour Control (AICC) for advanced precision machining and contouring operations.

Yes. Delivery, installation, and operator training are included with boring mill purchases. T.R. Wigglesworth's service team coordinates the full process from machine shipment to on-site setup and commissioning. Technical support remains available after installation. Contact the company directly for specific timelines and details related to your Canadian location.

Horizontal boring mills are widely used in heavy manufacturing, aerospace and defense, energy, shipbuilding, and general precision machining. They are especially suited for machining large welded frames, complex structural components, hydraulic manifolds, and engine blocks. The machines offered by T.R. Wigglesworth serve sectors including mold machining, heavy manufacturing, and precision production environments.

Spindle diameters range from 100mm to 150mm across FERMAT WFT models, while FEMCO BMC machines offer spindles from 100mm to 135mm. Maximum spindle speeds range from 2,500 RPM on the FEMCO BMC-110T3 up to 8,000 RPM on the FEMCO BMC Series high-speed models. Spindle tapers are CAT 50 / SK 50 or #50 taper depending on the model selected.
