Mitsubishi Materials has launched a range of small boring bars for Swiss-type automatic lathes. The whole series of these new boring bars is available in both solid carbide and steel. The inclusion of both types provides a choice for end users and offers the benefits of deeper boring capability due to the extra rigidity of the carbide type. Additionally, not all components need an extra deep hole carbide shank, so the cost-effective steel bar is also available in all types.

The lengths of the tools are compatible with Swiss-type automatic lathes. This ready made to length feature negates the costly and time-consuming process of cutting the shanks of standard tools to a shorter length to prevent interference.

A comprehensive selection of hard steel bars has recently been introduced to the range. Notably, the hard steel body is effective in preventing damage and wear caused by chip evacuation. The  hard steel types are available in diameters ranging from 4 to 10 mm for the 7º SCLC, STUC, SDUC, SDQC and SWUC types of holder, and for the 11º types SCLP and STUP.

A vast range of different carbide bar diameters, ranging from 4 to 32 mm diameter with a minimum pre-boring diameter of 5 to 34 mm are available for the 7º SCLC, STUC, SDUC,

SDQC and SWUC types of holder, and for the 11º types SCLP and STUP.

Steel bars ranging from 12 to 32 mm diameter with a minimum pre-boring diameter of 14 to 40 mm are also available in 7º SCLC, STUC, SDUC, SDQC and SWUC types of holder, and for the 11º types SCLP and STUP.
