Drilling and Turning Tool Expands Small-Diameter Tool Options

Tungaloy-NTK Inc. announces the expansion of its TungBoreMini series, introducing a new holder for a minimum machining diameter of ø8 mm (.315″). This addition enhances versatility, reduces tool change frequency and increases productivity with advanced chip evacuation and internal coolant supply.

TungBoreMini is a versatile and multifunctional tool line capable of performing drilling and OD/ID turning operations without the need for tool exchanges. This versatility results in significant time savings and helps manufacturers reduce tooling costs, ultimately leading to operational efficiency.

The newly introduced ø8 mm holder further extends the existing range of ø10 to ø32 mm, making it particularly suitable for machining small components, improving efficiency in producing complex parts and enabling users to take on more detailed work that requires precision.

Key features of the TungBoreMini series include an optimized chipbreaker, designed to provide superior chip control across various cutting depths, and an advanced internal coolant supply system, which features two dedicated outlets for effective cooling and chip evacuation. One outlet is positioned close to the cutting edge, while the other directs coolant axially, ensuring efficient chip removal and maintaining cutting stability.

These features contribute to stable and efficient machining even in challenging conditions. TungBoreMini enables manufacturers to streamline their tooling setups, reduce cycle times and enhance productivity across a variety of material groups and machining applications, making it a good solution for those looking to optimize performance and minimize downtime.
