Enhanced performance from Craftsman Tools’ split boring bar holders

Range compliments its static holders The extensive range of cap and hinged-type boring bar holders suits machines from many leading manufacturers such as Doosan, Hwacheon, Okuma, Mazak and Mori Seiki. For use with anti-vibration bars • Deeper boring capability (up to 10 times diameter). • Increased cutting performance. The Split Boring Bar Holder will also increase the performance of standard Boring Bars. They are available in diameters up to 50mm, and include driven toolholders for milling and drill work, to complement its static range of holders. Robert Johnson, Craftsman Tools managing director, said: “Our split boring bar holders accept round bar type boring bars for internal boring, threading or facing, and regular high speed steel, carbide tipped, or replaceable tip boring bars all work well with them. “Our research and development department is constantly updating our range by designing and developing new standard products and special applications. “We are committed to continual expansion of our toolholding range to suite customers’ needs. Our standard products are enhanced by our tradition of designing and manufacturing special products.” JANUARY 2009
