Fine machining bores up to 1000mm
The demands made on fine boring tools are primarily increasing improvements to surface finishes and at the same time raising cutting speeds to produce shorter machining times.
Concentricity has been significantly improved by design modifications and improvements in production technology.
In practice the life of the pilot drill was improved by up to 25-fold.
A further feature is the gentle transition for the chip space in the drill head to the chip space in the basic element with optimised spiral fluting.
The newly designed connection between drill head and basic element allows a significantly higher torque transmission and an enormous improvement in efficiency for the tools.
Coolant supply with direct application onto the face surface of the tool has also been changed which ensures optimum coolant supply for the cutting edge.
The new KUB Centron drills are also suitable for extreme application areas such as difficult materials or with interrupted cut and as a result increases production reliability.
From October 2003 the tools will be available in diameter ranges from 20 to 45mm.
