Boring Tools

Boring with in-process gauging

Posted as a supplement to "The Zenith of Boring," a feature article appearing in the July 2022 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine, this video demonstrates how Rigibore's Zenith system integrates ActiveEdge tools with in-process gauging to enable a machine controller to automatically compensate for insert wear, temperature changes and material inconsistency without manual intervention and without manufacturing interruptions.

Automate your boring cycle to increase production

Rigibore’s “ActiveEdge” adjusts automatically from your measurement data, ensuring perfect bores with zero downtime. ActiveEdge tools are micron accurate in diameter (0.078 thou) so even the tightest of tolerances can be met effortlessly. Save money by increasing production and eliminating scrap, with ActiveEdge technology.

Stator Bore Tool

Machining three diameters in one operation, the stator bore tool ensures the alignment and concentricity of the machined surfaces whilst reducing the cycle time significantly. The lightweight 3D printed combination tool enables a faster tool change and spin-up even on less powerful machines. The surface specifications and component tolerances are achieved without constraints.

EASTEC 2021 Booth Visit with BIG DAISHOWA Inc.

Cutting Tool Engineering's video booth visit with BIG DAISHOWA Inc. at EASTEC 2021 covers an array of the company's latest products. Northeast District Sales Manager Paul Lewis gives a quick overview of BIG DAISHOWA hydraulic holders, collets, collet chucks, angle heads, modular boring line, turning tools, chip blower fan and a heavy metal milling dampener.

Sales Specialist Patrick Cratty concludes the video tour with a brief demonstration of the the Speroni MAGIS CNC Tool Presetter.

538 (537) Boring Cassette with 3ETECH Digital Display

Made of hardened steel, it is extremely robust and resistant to all external mechanical influences. It can be used on serrated tool bodies and Alu-Line slide tools in the diameter range from 3.937” – 128.15” (100 mm – 3255 mm). Additionally, this precision boring tool can be adjusted without the aid of the readout. Its diameter can be set via a vernier scale in 0.0001” (0.002 mm) increments. This new tool offers an excellent price/performance ratio with extreme accuracy and strength in any industry.
