Machine tool accessories like chip fans and T-slot covers can have a significant impact on machine performance and production.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Insert holders on most Series 310 boring heads can be mounted upside down to perform precision back boring operations.

Exciting improvements in automation are already on their way—higher productivity, increased safety, greater throughput and less scrap. Tool digitalization provides opportunities for production improvements, like our EWE digital fine boring tool. It displays the actual diameter of a tool, makes adjustments much simpler and faster, and reduces human error.

Choosing the right tool holder for the right work is clearly of critical importance to successful metalworking performances.

When making holes it can be difficult to decide between reaming or boring. Which way is actually faster?

Do not make diameter adjustments on EWD/EWE digital boring heads unless a boring bar is clamped in the boring head.

It is wrong to make diameter adjustments to the 112 Series EWD/EWE digital boring heads without having a boring bar clamped.

Coated carbide micro deep hole drills manufactured by SPHINX Tools can reliably create wire EDM starter holes up to 5x faster than traditional wire erosion techniques.

Familiar name in NASCAR opens factory of the future and puts quality first.

Even among experienced machinists, choosing the right insert for boring a hole remains a difficult process that is fraught with myth and misconception. However, it is no myth that insert selection can completely save or kill performance on an application.

While we specialize in holders, we do offer some specialized cutters with these materials and often get questions about PCD and CBN inserts. Here we tackle some of the most frequently asked questions.

Using MEGA Synchro tapping holders, a metal components manufacturer shortens cycle time by 200%.

Good measurements make setups faster, reduce recuts and identify potential spindle or holder issues before they become bigger problems. Let’s look at a few of the key areas to measure and the handy solutions available.  

Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.
