ITC thinks small with MicroQuik QBB/QBM tooling

Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) has launched the MicroQuik QBB series of solid carbide boring tools for turning centres and the QBM series for machining centres.

The MicroQuik lines have been created for machining bores from a minimum diameter of 1.27 mm in the case of the QBB line and 3 mm in the case of the QBM series. The system can be adapted to all standard tooling platens for boring on CNC lathes and sliding-head turning centres. This is possible on the QBB line with shank diameters of 12, 16, 20, 22, 25 and 32 mm, while overall length ranges from 38 to 114 mm with a maximum boring depth from 3.8 to 76 mm.

The QBM line is offered for minimum bore diameters from 3 to 11.7 mm, and maximum bore depths from 12.7 to 76.2 mm. Overall length is 51, 64, 76, 89, 102 or 114 mm.
