A boring head is a cutting tool used in machining operations to enlarge or refine existing holes in a workpiece. It typically consists of a body that holds one or more cutting tools, called boring bars, which extend outward from the head at different angles.
The boring head is mounted on a milling machine or lathe and is rotated along with the workpiece. The boring bar is then moved longitudinally into the hole, gradually removing material and enlarging the diameter of the hole.
Boring heads come in various sizes and configurations depending on the specific application. Some models allow for micro-adjustments to achieve precise hole diameters, while others have interchangeable boring bars to accommodate different hole sizes.
F1 Boring head
There are several types of boring heads, including:
1.Offset Boring Head: This type of boring head features an off-center position for the boring bar, allowing for the creation of holes of varying diameters.
2.Universal Boring Head: This head allows for the boring bar to be set at different angles, making it suitable for creating angled holes.
3.Rough Boring Head: As the name suggests, this head is designed for rough machining applications where material removal is the primary objective.
4.Finish Boring Head: This head is used for finishing operations where achieving a high degree of accuracy and surface finish is critical.
In addition to boring heads, other related tools used in boring operations include boring bars, drill bits, reamers, and adjustable boring cartridges.
