The Digital Module from Wohlhaupter Corp. can be used with the company’s recently updated 019 boring head (VarioBore), which can be ordered with a docking port and associated internal electronics.
Features include:
Digital readout for any vernier-style boring tool that has a docking port, with adjustments accurate to 0.0001” (0.002mm) on diameter
Adjustments can be made on the spindle (module must be removed before actual cutting)
Has battery-powered, coolant-proof electronics.
In the future, other Wohlhaupter boring tools will be manufactured that feature the same docking port and electronics. This will allow a single Universal Digital Readout Module to be used with a number of different tools.

boring
Enlarging a hole that already has been drilled or cored. Generally, it is an operation of truing the previously drilled hole with a single-point, lathe-type tool. Boring is essentially internal turning, in that usually a single-point cutting tool forms the internal shape. Some tools are available with two cutting edges to balance cutting forces.
- boring head
boring head
Single- or multiple-point precision tool used to bring an existing hole within dimensional tolerance. The head attaches to a standard toolholder and a mechanism permits fine adjustments to be made to the head within a diameter range.
