Heule Precision Tools’ COFA tooling is designed for automated through-hole deburring applications, including those on sloped or uneven surfaces. This technology uses a carbide blade to remove burrs from the front and back of a drilled through-hole in a single pass, without stopping or reversing the spindle. The edge break is even and consistent across a wide spectrum of metals and alloys whether the surface is even, elliptical or sloped.

Automating the deburring processes for hard-to-reach cross-burrs shortens cycle times and improves efficiency. Carbide blades extend tool life and maintain edge sharpness, reducing downtime. COFA tooling is well-suited for both manual and CNC environments, as well as live-spindle lathes and robotic automation cells — operating reliably with or without cutting fluid. A variety of sizes from 2-30 mm (0.79-1.19") are available from stock. COFA tooling is designed for a wide range of applications in aerospace, automotive, energy, precision machining, heavy equipment and medical industries.

Controlled by a simple spring, the carbide cutting blade follows the contour of the hole’s surface, removing all burrs while creating an even-tapered corner break. The blade does not cut as it passes through the bore and will not damage the hole’s surface. The edge break begins only at the point where the blade contacts the material and then tapers the hole’s edge. This enables faster feed rates since the tool slows itself down as it enters the through-hole. The COFA tool has no adjusting screws or presetting requirements and is available in common tool sizes and spring strengths for various materials and hole sizes.

A wide range of COFA tooling is available, including COFA C for threaded holes and COFA Cassette for deburring larger bores quickly and efficiently. Custom designs are available to match deburring geometries and process needs.

Baileigh lathes come with lifetime support as well as local and internal sales applications expertise. 

Dillon Manufacturing’s self-centering jaw forming rings, or jaw boring rings, attach to the front of jaws without tools to streamline installations and reduce setup times. Additionally, they provide a jaw surface true to the machine centerline and increase up-times for running machined parts.

Uniform pressure on jaws produces a more consistent bore on large diameter chucks. Compensation for “jaw lift” even in worn chucks yields better part concentricity. Soft jaws, round jaws and full-grip jaws can be precisely machined for a firmer grip of the workpiece.

Dillon jaw boring rings are available in diameter-specific models or adjustable models to bore a range of chuck diameters. Chuck-diameter-specific versions and adjustable boring rings are available from 6-18" in diameter. Both styles feature no-tools attachment. Dillon jaw forming rings are designed to provide reliable, quick setups when paired with Dillon jaws.

Nagel Precision’s customizable deep-hole drilling solutions are designed for a wide range of applications. The systems are offered with up to four spindles, drilling diameters ranging from 3-22 mm and drilling depths of up to 1,250 mm.

For long workpieces, single-lip, deep-hole drilling provides a stable process and optimal hole straightness, which is critical for the performance of modern tools with internal cooling. The machines are fully customizable and can be configured either as stand-alone systems or as fully integrated turnkey solutions, including automation. This enables manufacturers to seamlessly switch between single-part production and high-volume series manufacturing.

A key feature of Nagel’s systems is the high level of automation. Optional robotic loading and unloading enables efficient, largely unmanned operation. At the same time, the system remains practical and user-oriented: setup processes are optimized to minimize downtime and increase overall productivity.

The machines combine German engineering expertise with manufacturing and service capabilities in the U.S., which provides short response times, local support and close customer proximity.

In addition to the machine itself, the solution includes tooling, application engineering and service. This holistic approach means that all components are aligned, resulting in consistent quality and reliable processes.

Ceratizit provides advanced milling systems designed to provide process security, longer tool life and improved productivity when machining materials such as hardened steels, refractory metals, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, Inconel and other heat-resistant superalloys (HRSAs).

Ceratizit’s MaxiMill – 211-DC indexable milling system is designed specifically for process-secure milling of HRSAs and titanium. The cutter uses DirectCooling technology, which provides coolant precisely to the insert flank where heat generation is highest. The cutter body is produced using additive manufacturing, enabling complex internal coolant channels that cannot be produced with conventional methods. This design improves heat management and tool life while providing higher cutting parameters in materials with low thermal conductivity.

The MaxiMill 211 – KN indexable-insert porcupine cutter uses a 15-mm insert platform optimized for stable shoulder- and slot-milling operations in hardened steels and high-strength aerospace alloys. With positive insert geometry that reduces cutting forces and vibration, the cutter can perform a range of operations from roughing through semi-finishing which reduces tool changes when machining complex aerospace components.

For high-efficiency material removal, Ceratizit’s MaxiMill – HFC high-feed milling system is available with 12-mm and 19-mm inserts. The system’s high-feed geometry directs cutting forces axially into the spindle, lowering spindle load and vibration while maintaining high metal removal rates. The design enables aerospace manufacturers to reduce cycle times when machining large structural or engine components while maintaining stable machining conditions.
