Abstract

A hole forming apparatus for forming a hole through the side wall of a hollow elongated work without any adhesion of dross generated not only during hole forming operation to the inner wall surface of the work but also without any burning of a rust preventing oil. To cool the working location, cooling air is blown through the opening end of the work so as to generate a stream of cooling air in the interior of the work.
