CoroBore® BR30

Three-edge rough boring tools for maximum productivity

Instructions

Handling instruction CoroBore rough boring

Diameter adjustment

If no pre-setter is available, adjust diameter by measuring the distance from pin to insert and subtracting half the pin diameter. Multiply by two for the effective boring diameter.

Torque

Always use a torque wrench, and apply the recommended torque on screws for insert and tool assembly.

Laser-marked scale

The laser-marked scale on the adapter facilitates the setting of the diameter.

Set-up

Check machine spindle, run-out, wear and clamping force.

Clean assembly items

Clean all assembly items before assembly. Check inserts and insert seats regularly so they are free from dirt and not damaged.

Replace worn items

Replace worn or exhausted screws, washers and cup springs. It is recommended to replace the cup springs used when clamping the slides every 5th use to keep the pre-clamping functionality in place while setting the diameter in the pre-setter.

Lubricate once a year

Lubricate all assembly items with oil at least once a year.



​Application tips

Blind hole

Blind hole

When machining a blind hole, it is very important to ensure that proper chip evacuation takes place.
• Correct cutting data is essential to achieve proper chip formation
• Check that the chips do not jam or wear the inserts
• Coolant pressure and flow should be sufficient to evacuate the chips
• Vertical machines are more critical than horizontal machines for efficient chip evacuation

Interrupted cuts

Interrupted cuts

Machining of interrupted cuts, such as cross holes, sets high demands on insert cutting conditions.
• Choose a tough grade
• Choose a strong, square, negative, basic-shaped insert for improved process security, valid for stable conditions
• Reduce cutting data if there are severe interruptions

Off-center holes

Off-center holes

If the center lines of the pre-machined hole and the boring tool are not concentric, the cutting depth could be very large on one side of the hole.
A good solution for these applications is step boring in order to be able to take the large depth of cut. Unsymmetrical cutting forces might bend the tool and cause some small remaining off center or vibrations, especially when long overhang tool assemblies are used.

Sand inclusions

Sand inclusions

Sand inclusions in cast components increase the wear on the inserts.
Recommendations:
• Choose a tough grade
• Reduce cutting data
• Choose a strong, square, negative basic-shaped insert for improved process security and minimized wear.

Recommendations

Cutting data

General recommendations for rough boring:

  • Starting data: vc 200 m/min (valid when vc on insert box is greater than vc 200 m/min) at short overhang. Check insert box for feed and depth of cut recommendations
  • vc = 50% of recommended data on label. If vibrations occur, reduce speed and increase feed. Do not use maximum recommended feed and ap at the same time
Machine limitations:

Always make sure that the machine can provide the required torque and power for the specific boring application.
