Although high-precision deep-hole machining methods like honing are available, there are still limitations if the initial hole is bent. In such cases, another option is to use shape carving electrical discharge machining. Nonetheless, it&#8217;s important to remember that there are still limits to machining deep holes with high precision, depending on the shape.
