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.
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.
BIG KAISER compares the capabilities and performance of our intermediate fine boring heads to quickly find the tool that’s right for your unique application.
Hydraulic chucks are an excellent choice for high accuracy applications due to their ability to maintain runout accuracy over an extended period of time.
Cleanliness is key to achieving good runout control when assembling tool holders. Small particles or oil in a tool holder can cause large runout of the cutting tool, deceasing tool life and performance.
