i am writing up a report for an experiment which involved a rectangular section through which a hole was drilled (all the way through). How can i refer to the hole, as 'hole' doesn't sound very good... the only things i have thought of are 'cavity' or 'hollow' or something???? is there a specific phrase or something??? any suggestions?

Through hole, that will define it as through as opposed to a c'bore

You're writing up an experiment, not trying to show how good you are at finding out technical phraseology.
'A hole was drilled through the rectangular section' will do.
As with most write ups, if you are having problems describing something, do what a good engineer would do - draw a simple sketch.

a "through hole" would work because it goes completley through the object. or just call it a hole. When writing technical papers it is not bad to keep it simple, that way you can get your message across to the reader. When in doubt, call it what it is!

It can be referred to as a "bore", or utilized as a verb, meaning "to drill such a hole". Good luck.

How about a "MAW" - A depression hollowed out of solid matter or an "APERTURE" - A man-made opening; usually small

"A hole was drilled". Simple, understandable, correct.

Setter's correct, a 'through hole' is the term you should use, or you could say, 'an Xmm. diameter hole'

Aperture, puncture or perforation. Or if you want to catch their eye you could try orifice ... but I'd suggest steering clear of phrases like 'drilling the orifice'.
