Boring tool performance depends greatly on the Length-to-Diameter (L:D) Ratio of the application. While this is a straightforward calculation, the Length and Diameter values to be used may not be that clear.
If there’s anything we love as much as the sound of those engines, it’s the manufacturing technology and know-how that go into making high-performance, race-winning cars. Together with Team Penske, and just in time for the 2020 season start at Daytona, we are launching a series of short videos to talk machine shop.
Enhance your machining skills by understanding when to use balanced cutting for precise straight holes and stepped cutting for efficient heavy cuts—ensuring smarter tool choices and project success.
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.
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.
