Are there any eco-cuts with a small diameter of less than φ8? < Eco Cut>

Are there any eco-cuts with a small diameter of less than φ8? < Eco Cut>

Answer

In the Eco Cut series, the Eco Cut Mini that can be made more small diameter is now available.

EcoCut Mini(ECM) Features of EcoCut Mini
Tool consolidation, machining time, and tool cost reduction!

1) Drilling with one stick, minor diameter turning, external turning, and end face turning are possible.
Like EcoCut, it can perform minor diameter turning with a larger tool diameter than conventional minor diameter machining tools, enabling high-efficiency machining.

2) Hole bottom flattening is easy in a short time
Small diameter in the case of deep holes, the tools used are also small diameter , making stable machining more difficult.
In particular, it takes a lot of process and time to flatten the bottom of the hole with the conventional method.

Conventional processing
 
1) Pilot hole machining (Drilling) 2) Corner cutting ( minor diameter bar) 3) Center processing

2) Counterboring machining (flat drilling)

EcoCut Mini
 
Flat hole processing unlike normal drilling, the bottom of the hole at the time of drilling is flat.

3) Lathe hole ( minor diameter ) in finishing, excellent roundness, concentricity

 
EcoCut Mini General Drills
EcoCut Mini
General Drills
・ Good roundness and concentricity for turning
・ Minor diameter after drilling turning finish dimension correction is possible (the machined surface is also good)
Therefore, EcoCut Mini of the same size can be used for holes with different dimensions.
・Slight misalignment of the machine shaft (poor concentricity)
・Tool chattering due to machining (poor roundness)
・ Drill of the size that matches the hole dimensions is required.
Tool consolidation, machining time reduction, tool cost reduction
* Depending on the required dimensional accuracy, finishing processing with a separate tool may be required
Minor diameter requires boring and finishing with reamers
