ZX Modular Boring Tools (MBT) offer versatility and economy when machining bores, counter-bores, tapers, threads, and complex contours inside components, over a wide range of diameters. These tools offer the highest cutting speeds and material removal rates available.

The MBT series is available in single-slide (MBT-S) and twin-slide (MBT-T) versions. All MBT tools feature 2:1 actuation ratio for easy programming.

The unique modular design makes adjustment of length and configuration not only fast and easy, but cost effective too. The MBT range can simply be converted for valve seat pocket machining, bottle boring or other extended-reach applications with the addition of extensions and pilot supports – adding to their versatility and adaptability, whilst eliminating the need for additional tools. With a long tool slide stroke, that is supplemented by using different cartridges, they can cover an even wider diameter range – no need to change the tool slide(s) or remove the head from the machine. The tools can perform versatile forward and back boring operations, such as back counter-bores, internal grooves, faces, and bottle bores. Stepped and tapered bores are machined without tool changes offering exceptional concentricity. Accuracy is maintained as the tool slide(s) adjusts for various diameters whilst the tool stays on the same bore centerline.

Product features:

• Bottom-facing capability available for blind bores.
• Twin-slide tools offer balanced cutting forces for high feeds and speeds and high material removal rates.
• Internal through-tool coolant is standard.
• Fully enclosed actuation mechanism: No chip packing.
• Internal forward hard stop and anti-torque features protect the tool in case of mishaps.
