Sandvik Coromant introduces a new high-precision coolant solution
S
andvik Coromant has taken another step in the development of fine boring technology
a groundbreaking high-precision (HP) coolant tool for trouble- free machining and close hole tolerances.
Machine stops caused by chip tangling around the tool or spindle are a common problem in fine boring. With the high- HP directs the high-precision coolant jet to the cutting edge in order to efficiently control and break the chip. Chips are then easily evacuated from the hole.
Combined with the user- friendly stepwise scale setting of the tool diameter provides the perfect tool for accurate fine boring.
first choice fine boring tool for requirements in the range inch). It is optimized for process repeatability, hence ensuring excellent surface finish and close hole tolerances. To make it easier for users to HP fine boring solution for their particular requirement, Sandvik Coromant has introduced assembly kits for a wide range of hole diameters. The integrated Coromant Capto® solution is ideal for small diameter boring inch), while the optimal choice for diameters in the range of inch) is a modular solution with internal counterweight. For

or outsource the work. The scope of the punch machine was limited and both options were time consuming.
“Small jobs were becoming less of the delays – sometimes a whole days while we waited to get hold of components and then have to be rushed through over the weekend. We’d be paying overtime and other associated costs – it could add up to £1000 all because we had to wait for someone else to cut a £20 plate for us.”
SFC Midlands invested £25,000 in the Swiftcut 2500 as part of a planned growth strategy to build the business and improve
