Boring

Abrasive Technology’s P.B.S.® braze bond grinding products promote high diamond exposure with optimal coverage for aggressive tooling that lasts longer, cuts faster and runs cooler. Our proprietary P.B.S.® process eliminates peeling and diamond pull out, making these products ideal for machining tough-to-cut materials where fast stock removal and deep cuts are required.

Rigibore runs a specialized subprogram that ensures precision accuracy after an insert change, automatically taking a test and verification cut to return to nominal size. This allows downtime to be minimized, and eliminates the need for the tool to be removed from the machine.

The Zenith two-cut finish solution ensures precision performance, automatically backing off the cutting edge to machine a pre-finish boring hole that it then measures and records the value in the machine control, which uses the value to compensate for the finish bore.

Modern CNC machines, regardless of their sophistication, cannot automatically compensate a boring tools cutting edge.

The 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 stopping the manufacturing process.

Nick Gaten, director of global product management for turning products at Kennametal Inc., discusses the new 10-to-1 boring bar system. It features vibration-free boring bars with bolt-on heads.
