Combining Cogsdill’s proven diamond insert geometry with the latest auto-tuning, mass dampening, anti-vibration technology – AVDBT offers incredibly low Ra surface finishing for both external diameters and internal bores at depths up to a staggering 15xD!

Typically, with conventional single point boring and burnishing, surface finish deterioration can arise when machining applications over 4xD due to increased vibration and regenerative tool chatter. This becomes more problematic when working with even higher overhangs.
Trying to stabilise the surface finish usually involves a lower cutting speed, reduced depth of cut, or increased feed per revolution. All adding to higher production costs or compromising on quality.

GAME CHANGING
Cogsdill’s new range of tooling with advanced Anti-Vibration technology is a total game changer. Not only does it auto-adjust to the vibrations that are causing the tool chatter during initial machining, but with the addition of our interchangeable diamond burnishing head, you can now pre-op and finish from one tool. Achieve unrivalled surface finishes in both internal and external applications.

GOOD(BYE) VIBRATIONS
GOOD(BYE) VIBRATIONS



Our Anti-Vibration technology starts with the auto-tuning mass damper. Cogsdill’s tooling is unique due to the complex polymers that surround a tungsten mass within the boring bar. Vibration frequencies differ significantly over varying lengths. The polymers in turn respond by changing their form, adjusting to the cutting frequency which counteracts vibration – automatically and consistently – effectively auto-tuning the “sweet spot” with no manual adjustment required.

Machine clamping requirements
To ensure these tools give the optimum performance, correct tool holding is critical. These tools are not designed to be clamped directly on to the shank because the low surface area of clamping will not provide sufficient rigidity. Furthermore, direct contact of the screws will damage the dampening system. You should use a standard adapter for mounting the tool, via means of reduction sleeve, all around clamping or preferably hydraulic collet / shrink-fit clamping for maximum rigidity / bending stiffness.


Direct Screw Mount
- Unacceptable rigidity due to single point of contact
- DO NOT USE THIS
- It will damage the bar


Reduction Sleeve
- Acceptable Rigidity / Bending Stiffness for low L/D
- Clamping Length = 4xD


All Around Clamp
- Better Rigidity / Bending Stiffness
- Clamping Length = 4xD


Hydraulic Collet
- Best Rigidity / Bending Stiffness
- Recommended for high L/D
- Clamping Length = 3xD
