Special tooling configured to machine
'exotics'
Special tooling employs steel shanks with carbide or polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts and is configured for a wide range of applications such as machining Inconels and Titanium and its alloys.
While Bencere Elliot has an extensive catalogue of standard tooling for fine boring, internal recessing, deburring and burnishing, up to 95 per cent of the company's products are purpose designed and manufactured for a specific component application and the machine tool involved The majority of the company's special tooling employs steel shanks with carbide or polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts

Typical customer applications are wide ranging and include a high percentage of automotive work as well as others in the aerospace and hydraulics sectors.
The company is also highly experienced in producing tooling packages for exotic materials such as Inconel and Titanium.
The combination of expertise and the high-end CNC tool and cutter grinding machines in place at the new Bencere facility in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire means that the company can offer high technology cutting tool solutions.
Core products such as the Bencere R-Max single blade and fine boring reamers are capable of producing holes to tolerances as tight as 2-3microns.
The R-Max range utilises a single precision-ground and lapped double-edged cutting blade and a selection of guide pads that are positioned to absorb and disperse the forces created during machining.
This produces cylindrical bores with exceptional straightness, hole geometry and surface finish.
One of the biggest advantages of tooling such as R-Max is that it can eliminate the need for additional machining operations such as internal grinding or honing.
Their secret to achieving demanding tolerances is the associated workholding equipment, and this is an area where Bencere Elliot can be of assistance to component manufacturers.
The company is highly experienced in designing and supplying high quality workholding systems to ensure cutting-tool/machine-tool alignment to exceptionally high degrees of accuracy.
With so much expertise at their disposal, Bencere Elliot can even provide the ultimate one-stop-shop service for customers looking to outsource complete projects.
If a specific component requires a fine tolerance or super finish in the main bores, Bencere Elliot can undertake the entire project, including the tooling, machining and commissioning.
