Cork borers are made of metal and used in laboratory settings. A cork borer is a tool that allows one to cut a hole in a cork so glass tubing can be inserted. It can also be used on rubber stoppers the same way.

What is the use of cork borer in the laboratory?

A cork borer is used to make a hole through the middle of a cork stopper, usually in order to insert a delivery tube through it.
