What Is a Carbide Boring Bar?
Carbide boring bars are tools used for machining holes in machine tools and lathes. Made from hard alloy, typically tungsten carbide, these bars are known for their exceptional hardness and high wear resistance. They are primarily used in milling machines to enlarge and refine holes initially created by drills.
Various types include shank boring bars, designed with a linear shank for enlarging drilled holes, and anti-vibration boring bars, optimized for high-speed machining with enhanced rigidity to reduce vibrations.
