Counter Boring Tool
Counter boring reaming tools should not be confused with shallow- hole, counter boring reaming multi-cutter tools or single point boring bars that are used on machining centers or CNC lathes. Sunnen's Finish Boring Reaming tools are generally for bore depths deeper than 7+ times dia. (L/D) and are used to open up existing holes with increased precision, productivity, and versatility. In the majority of cases, one will be able to produce holes with closer tolerances and finer surface finishes, possibly eliminated the need for honing.
Sunnen offers a full line of single indexable insert tipped tools ranging from 12.7 – 711.20 mm (.500″ – 28.000″) diameter. When required, multi-cutter or stepped counter boring reaming tools can be furnished to conform with component design criteria or as roughing tools for subsequent form boring operations.
