Main shaft

There are tons of material to remove for the main shafts and highly productive turning solutions generate substantial improvements. From a machining point of view, the forged surface demands inserts with secure performance and high temperature resistance due to the long contact times.
Manufacturing deep and precise holes is always a technical challenge, where we are proud to help out. Through 50 years of deep-hole drilling experience, you can feel assured that our tools will do the job. Furthermore, our technical specialists will be there to assist you with solutions.

1. Drilling
Just by exchanging a conventional drill with a CoroDrill® 880, you can double the number of drilled holes in the same amount of time.
Its step technology gives outstanding cutting force balance, providing significant improvements in productivity as well as hole quality.
This, in combination with high performance grades makes it outstanding when it comes to rapid hole making.

2. Turning, from forged skin to close tolerances
Maximize the chip removal rate with the Sandvik Coromant heavy-duty turning solution.
Try our productivity booster WMX wiper for the finishing operation, where tolerances and surface finish are crucial.
