Being considered a deep hole drilling specialist requires more than owning the right equipment. It demands proven capability, consistent quality, and a deep understanding of how to machine challenging components accurately and efficiently. At LDC Engineering Ltd, deep hole drilling is a core service—delivered with the technical knowledge and machinery required to meet the highest standards in UK manufacturing.
LDC Engineering’s deep hole drilling capacity reaches up to 68mm in diameter to a depth of 2 metres, supporting industries where precision bores are essential to the performance and safety of parts. Whether it’s a straightforward heater hole or a more advanced multi-level water circuit, every drilled component is completed with care, attention, and technical precision.
Built to Handle Complex Projects
LDC Engineering doesn’t just offer deep hole drilling—they specialise in it. Their in-house workshop is set up to handle both small one-off components and large-scale batch production. The team works confidently with materials ranging from duplex, stainless and mild steel, to aluminium, copper, bronze, cast iron, cast steel, resin, nylon and wood. This flexibility is what allows them to support such a broad customer base across toolmaking, automotive, oil and gas, and other high-specification industries.
The ability to maintain straightness, diameter control and smooth bore finishes over long depths is what separates deep hole drilling specialists from general machinists. At LDC, that skill is matched with modern equipment and an experienced team.
More Than Drilling – A Full Machining Service
While deep hole drilling is a flagship capability, LDC Engineering also provides additional machining services in-house to support complete component production. These include gun drilling (up to 38mm diameter and 4 metres in depth on certain sizes), CNC milling, CNC turning, radial drilling, and surface grinding. Their large surface grinder can accommodate parts up to 1500mm x 500mm x 350mm, adding further value for customers needing flat and accurately finished surfaces.
By offering everything under one roof, LDC reduces lead times and simplifies communication for customers requiring multiple operations on the same part.
