D-cut tool supports various hole diameters with a single tool by helical machining. High-speed machining is realized with the most suitable cutting edge material. Low-resistance machining is achieved with multi-edge specifications and a unique edge runout adjustment mechanism. Reduced spindle load enables spindle downsizing (in case of a conventional rough boring machine max diameter #50 to #40!).
There is a growing need for multiple-product production in the manufacturing field.
However, in order to accommodate the different diameters of each workpiece, tools that match each hole diameter are required, which increases new investment in equipment and tools.
“Development points”
The “D-CUT TOOL” uses helical machining, enabling it to handle a wide variety of workpieces and reducing the number of tools.
Furthermore, the unique cutting edge and run-out adjustment mechanism enables low-resistance machining, resulting in “cost reduction” and “equipment downsizing.
