Abstract
Technological patterns in the formation of deflections in shape and positioning of apertures in the process of boring are established on the basis of theoretical and experimental analysis. The dominant factors that influence the formation of processing errors were brought to light, taking into account the specificity of the application of PNC machines (programmed numeral control) and specific automatic control systems that position the shape-forming point of a cutting tool by means of the decrement of its oscillations in the process of aperture boring. The need for and possibility of the control of the process of shape formation under boring have been shown, which fundamentally allows to increase the refinement accuracy and to decrease errors in positioning and roughness of the processed surfaces.
