Big Kaiser is introducing two new MW series carbide rough-boring bars, with availability in the UK via Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC). According to ITC, the MW boring bars deliver significantly improved precision levels in comparison with steel alternatives, largely by reducing vibration and chatter.

Carbide has four times the density of steel, which means any flexing is reduced by more than 16 times. Less deflection means that carbide tools are more precise and exhibit lower levels of chatter, providing manufacturers with far better machining results than other boring-head materials. Furthermore, enhanced rigidity enables fast roughing operations that help boost productivity levels.

The application of carbide instead of steel will also prolong the life of the cutting tools, as there is less run-out and reduced wear. ITC reports that carbide boring bars deliver precise levels of concentricity while their perpendicularity (straightness) is a further contributor to run-out performance.

“Carbide anti-vibration boring bars are important tool accessories for CNC machining because they solve the problem of insufficient stability that can lead to vibration when machining,” says Giampaolo Roccatello, chief sales and marketing officer for Europe at Big Kaiser. “With these two new boring bars our customers can take full advantage of the benefits that carbide technology provides.”

MW rough boring bars are straight-shank, indexable rough-boring tools for small diameters with dimensions based upon the Big Kaiser 319 SW series. The bars are suitable for the rough machining of through-holes with diameters from 16 to 21 mm.
