Komet further refines its TwinKom lightweight double cutter concept

The size of the replaceable bridge for the TwinKom – made to customer requirement – is application-oriented and adapted to suit the hole diameter to be cut. Standardisation, however, keeps delivery times relatively short, says Komet. The tool can be used as a double cutter for roughing, as a single cutter for finishing, as a follow-on cutting tool and, when equipped with an adapter, as a stepped tool. Tool blocks for roughing can be adjusted radially and axially, both for dual cutter use and for cut distribution. For finishing, the fine adjustment insert can be applied to the workpiece directly without clamping. Fine adjustment of 2 micron through scale division is possible. The same tool blocks can be used for roughing and finishing throughout all diameter ranges. All replaceable bridges are prepared ready for an internal coolant supply. An adjustable jet targets cooling accurately at the cutting edge. DIN mill adapters used on the machine side to connect the tools enable them to be used on all common spindles.
