Boring Cartridge for Axial-Radial Offset Roughing

Walter has broadened its line of boring tools with the introduction of the B3220 Boring Cartridge for axial-radial offset roughing (ARS), expanding on previous methods that were either symmetrical or asymmetrical. This tool was designed for use with the Walter B3220 but can be used with the Walter B3221 and B3224 boring tools as well.

"By doubling the tool's cutting widths, the cartridge increases metal removal rates, saving time and money. Costs are further decreased since the B3220 Boring Cartridge saves users the need for additional processing steps and tools," said a company spokesperson. In addition, the tool provides good chip control, stable machining conditions and heightened process reliability.

All common ISO materials can be machined with the B3220 Boring Cartridge which can use an extensive range of indexable inserts. It excels at thru hole, line hole and step cuts, and is designed for chassis, large engine and gearbox roughing in the automotive industry. In general engineering it finds application in the roughing of bearing holes, machine housings and compressor housings, among other parts. In the railway industry it is efficient for chassis roughing.
