For manufacturing of tubing products, or those who manufacture products with tubing components, Severance Tool has developed a line of tube end finishing rotary tools that can deburr, form or chamfer as required by application needs.
The tools are designed to finish the inside diameter and outside diameter of tubing ends in a single operation and many feature adjustable, two-piece construction to accommodate work on same size tubing having varying wall thickness ranges. Other features may include, depending upon application, Chatterless tooth geometry that alternates tooth-cutting angles to eliminate resonant vibration from the tool and workpiece for smooth finishes, and Severance's exclusive Grayhone finish that provides cutting edges ready to work with no break in period required.
Among the tools offered is a full line of tube deburring tools available in high speed steel or carbide construction. These tools, although they provide a 30° inside chamfer and a 45° outside deburring, are designed for light duty and break sharp edges of the inside and outside diameters simultaneously. They feature tooth geometry with a shearing cutting action for fast cutting that prevents loading of chips. These tools can be reground numerous times for long service and operate in speed ranges of 50 to 200 RPM. The outside ring, or member, is adjustable, secured by screws, to provide various outside edge break sizes and compensate for different wall thickness within a given tube diameter range. Tube deburring cutters are available in standard sizes for 1/8" OD (1/16" ID) through 2-1/4" OD (2" ID) tubing, and with a variety of shank styles.
Tube end chamfer mills have cutting edges designed to provide a shearing action. With Chatterless angle geometry, they are designed for heavy duty cutting to machine precise, smooth 45° OD and 30° ID chamfers. Chamfering mills are available in sizes for pipe and tubing ranges from 3/16" to 2-1/2" OD. All models are adjustable for different wall thicknesses.
The tube end forming cutters machine an ID and OD radius, establishing a smooth, rounded end that is suited for applications where tubing may be exposed. A selection of high speed steel and carbide tools are available in sizes for tubing ranging from 1/8" to 2-1/2" OD. Each OD size is complemented by a range of wall thickness or gauge sizes to accommodate most popular tubing applications.
For all three types of tube end finishing tools, standard sizes are typically shipped with same-day services. Severance also provides application-specific design and manufacture service, including custom size, chamfer angles and forming characteristics. Single cutting action (ID or OD) chamfering tools are also available, and Severance offers a wide range of tool styles and sizes for deburring holes through tube walls.
Other Severance tools include 3N1 combination countersink/drills, Midget Mills rotary files and burrs, inside and outside deburring and chamfering mills, Micro-Reamers, electrode dressers, double-end countersinks, Chatterless countersinks and adjustable stop countersink units, stop countersink cutters and a variety of hand operated finishing tools.
