The Best Boring Head for the Job
Boring heads hold cutters, which are the tools that actually remove material, in position as they rotate to bore holes to the specified diameter. There are several boring head options for boring holes and secondary boring operations that could be applied to that simple operation. Let’s review some of the different ones.
Rough boring heads
Rough boring heads are designed to be more rigid to handle the increased depths of cut, torque, and axial forces needed to remove materials efficiently after the initial hole is made.
Fine boring heads
Fine boring heads, the epitome of precision in the boring process, complete the rough boring process. Balanced for high-speed cutting, these heads remove material with meticulous precision, ensuring the achievement of exact specifications.
Twin cutter boring heads
While the majority of boring operations use only one cutter, twin cutter boring heads stand out for their efficiency. With two cutters that perform balanced or stepped cutting without the need for additional accessories or adjustments, these heads ensure a productive and streamlined process.
Digital boring heads
Traditionally, boring heads are adjusted in the machine, a process that is not only time-consuming but also prone to mistakes when reading and adjusting the diameter dial to the right diameter. Digital boring heads, however, alleviate these concerns by making adjustments much easier and more accurate, thanks to the use of an LED for the adjustments.
