Guided tools have high accuracy and performance due to the direct guiding in the bore using guide pads and the high quality of the precision-ground indexable inserts. Particularly on the fine machining of bores, the requirements are exceptionally high on the cutting material, coating, cutting edge geometry and the quality of the grinding. Due to the highly accurate adjusting systems, the required diameter is produced to the μm from the first part. The setting effort is significantly reduced by the EasyAdjust system, as it is only necessary to set the diameter of the tools.
Single-bladed reamers
The MAPAL single-bladed reamers are built using the proven MAPAL principle. The machining of the workpiece material and the guiding of the reamer in the bore are undertaken by precision-ground indexable inserts and guide pads at the best geometric positions. Special leads and exact adjustability of the diameter and the back taper characterise the WP cutting system with two cutting edges. With its hexagonal indexable insert, the HX cutting system offers six usable cutting edges. Optimum backlash-free mounting of the inserts is guaranteed by the specially designed adjustment and clamping systems.
