BSF Back Spotfacing Tool

HEULE's BSF tool is for automated high-volume back spot facing applications. The BSF tool, suitable for counterbores up to 2.3 times diameter and ranging in size from 6.5mm to 20.5mm (0.256” to 0.807”), is sold standard-stock, shipped the next day from the Cincinnati warehouse.

Custom Deep-Hole Drilling Modules

Investments in conventional deep-hole drilling machines can be very expensive. SOMEX, a member of the Suhner Group, offers custom deep-hole drilling solutions capable of drilling up to 12mm diameters and as deep as 100 times the diameter. These modules can be integrated directly into transfer machines, special-purpose machines or conventional machines such turning machines. The potential for cost savings is substantial.
