ID boring is a common and time-consuming operation on CNC lathes. Common issues have led to the development of world-class boring tools—traditionally used on milling machines—that have proven to be just as effective on a CNC lathe.
The lightweight Series 318 Large Diameter Boring System is designed for heavy roughing of bores for diameters up to 24.4"—and a special adapter can extend the system even further.
Compact type Angle Heads for drilling and tapping are approximately 25% lighter when compared with standard units. The case and head are substantially reduced.
There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.
Deep hole boring comes with challenges created by the inevitable deflection that occurs when trying to finish a hole of a substantial depth. Various factors determine the best approach to solving the issue, and it’s important to consider all factors before choosing a solution for your boring needs.
Learn how high-quality boring tools and digital technology improve accuracy, reduce downtime and increase ROI, helping shops overcome common challenges and achieve more consistent machining results.
As lathes and turning machines pivot toward quick-change tooling models from traditional stick tools, tool presetters present benefits of keeping chips flying while reducing human error and increasing precision.
