Posted: January 29, 2016
The Supermini® Type 105 tool system from Horn USA, Inc. (Franklin, TN) performs demanding tasks involving bore diameters between 0.2 mm (0.008 in) and 6 mm (0.236 in), with well over 1,000 versions of the carbide insert that fit one toolholder. The new Type 105 carbide inserts, for boring hard materials up to 66 HRC, are available to work in bore diameters of 4 mm (0.157 in) to 5 mm (0.197 in), and bore depths to 10 mm (0.394 in),15 mm (0.591 in) and 20 mm (0.787 in).
The boring inserts are available in a left-hand and right-hand design. The heat resistant coating is applied to the carbide substrate under tightly controlled conditions to ensure proper adherence to the precision ground micro-geometry of the cutting edge. As a result, this expertly engineered combination of carbide substrate, coating and cutting geometry offers a highly cost-effective alternative to the CBN cutting materials that were required before now.
