Severance Finishing Tools Feature Chatter-Free Tooth Geometry

Source: Severance Tool Industies Inc.

Severance Tool Industries has developed a line of tube end finishing rotary tools designed to deburr, form or chamfer as required by application needs. The tools are designed to finish both the ID and OD of tubing ends in a single operation, and many feature adjustable, two piece construction to accommodate work on same-size tubing with varying wall thickness ranges.

Depending on the application, certain tools include chatter-free tooth geometry that alternates tooth-cutting angles to eliminate resonant vibration from the tool and workpiece for smooth finishes. Additionally, Severance’s Grayhone finish provides cutting edges ready to work with no break in period required.

Among the tools offered is a full line of tube deburring tools available in high speed steel or carbide construction. These tools provide a 30-degree inside chamfer and 45-degree outside deburring and are designed for light duty to break sharp edges of both the ID and OD simultaneously. They feature tooth geometry with a shearing cutting action for fast cutting that prevents loading of chips. These tools can be reground numerous times for long service and operate in speed ranges of 50-200 rpm. The outside ring or member is adjustable, secured by screws, to provide various outside edge break sizes and compensate for different wall thickness within a given tube diameter range. Tube deburring cutters are available in standard sizes for 1/8" OD (1/16" ID) through 2-1/4" OD (2" ID) tubing, and with a variety of shank styles.

Serverance’s tube end chamfer mills provide the same shear cutting action and outside ring. They feature chatter-free angle geometry designed for heavy duty cutting to machine precise, smooth 45-degree OD and 30-degree ID chamfers in applications requiring easy assembly with other components. Chamfering mills are available in sizes for pipe and tubing ranges from 3/16" to 2-1/2" OD.
