Solid Carbide Boring Tools With A Corner Radii And Sharp Corner
The company feature’s its “BB”-style solid carbide boring bars with both a corner radii and sharp corner. Both designs are offered as uncoated or with TiN coating as standard; are available in both left- and right-hand design; and offer a wide range of boring depths and sizes. The tools feature a lockdown flat that

Multitasking machines offer a number of advantages, including reducing multiple setups that require manual material handling and refixturing. However, many fabricators still use multiple operations on separate machines to process tube and pipe components. Secondary operations such as tapping are especially prob

In the past 20 years or so, the ER-style collet holder has become a de facto standard for retaining round-shank type tooling in milling and machining center applications. A precision boring system can now be included in the range of tooling compatible with precision ER-style collet systems. The ER collet featu

Composites are becoming increasingly common in aerospace applications, and machining new materials can be a challenge for shops used to cutting metal. One such substance, carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), can be difficult to drill because tools often “push” through the material rather than executing a cle
