Abstract: A method for machining a counterbore in a machining component is provided. The method includes positioning a machining component with respect to a machining tool, the positioning of the machining component based on geometric specifications of the counterbore. The machining tool includes a boring bar, the boring bar angled based on the geometric specifications of the counterbore. The method further includes, with the head traversed through the bore, repositioning one of the machining component or the tool such that the cutting element comes in contact with the second side of the machining component and, with the cutting element in contact with the second side of the machining component, rotating at least one of the tool and the machining component.
