At LDC Engineering Ltd, gun drilling is one of our core services. Known for its ability to produce deep, straight holes with exceptional accuracy, gun drilling continues to play a vital role in modern manufacturing. By offering this capability alongside our other machining services, we help customers achieve precision in applications where conventional drilling cannot deliver the same results.

What Makes Gun Drilling Different

Unlike standard drilling methods, gun drilling is designed to produce very deep holes with excellent straightness and surface finish. This process is particularly valuable when working on components that require narrow, accurate holes that run to great depths. Our gun drilling capacity allows us to drill up to 38mm in diameter, with depths of up to 4m on certain sizes.

Applications Across Industries

Gun drilling is used in a wide range of industries, from aerospace and automotive to toolmaking and food processing. Customers rely on this process for components such as moulds, tooling, and specialised equipment, where precision is critical. At LDC Engineering Ltd, we work with metals, plastics, and composites, giving us the versatility to support different sectors and requirements.

Combining Gun Drilling with Other Services

One of the advantages of working with us is that we can combine gun drilling with CNC machining, deep hole drilling, milling, and surface grinding in-house. This saves customers the time and inconvenience of using multiple suppliers, while ensuring that every part of the project is completed to the same high standard.

A Proven Process for Accuracy

Our customers trust us because we consistently deliver accuracy and reliability. Gun drilling is a process that demands attention to detail, and with our experience and specialist equipment, we ensure every project is handled with care.
