An asymmetric line boring bar

Automaker BMW challenged the Kennametal Inc. to develop a tool that accentuates the advantages of reaming and line boring while virtually eliminating the disadvantages. Kennametal accepted the task and developed its asymmetric line boring bar, which has two guide pads positioned so they only contact the last journal.

This geometry allows the bar to be fed through the raw, or unfinished, bores on an eccentric path.
