Lead angles close to 90° more effectively combat potentially damaging chatter and vibration because they apply the least amount of radial pressure.

There’s more than one way to finish a hole. The most effective option will depend on the number of parts, acceptable cycle time and tolerance callouts.

When making holes it can be difficult to decide between reaming or boring. Which way is actually faster?

Insert holders on most Series 310 boring heads can be mounted upside down to perform precision back boring operations.

When it comes to boring, there are several factors that can lead to poor performance. Whether it’s long cycle times, short tool life or poor bore quality, any or all these factors may need to be addressed in order to increase productivity. Although different, these issues are often closely linked in a given application.

Ansonia Manufacturing, the only machine shop in the town of Sonoma, California, discovered the EWN2-32ExER32 boring head and used it to complete a tricky hardware component job for a “live” glass art sculpture.

The Twin Cutter’s ability to take on heavier cuts allows shops to be more efficient.

This message does not mean there is an error or accuracy malfunction with the boring head.

Even among experienced machinists, choosing the right insert for boring a hole remains a difficult process that is fraught with myth and misconception. However, it is no myth that insert selection can completely save or kill performance on an application.

It is wrong to make diameter adjustments to the 112 Series EWD/EWE digital boring heads without having a boring bar clamped.
