Waukesha, Wisconsion – The B3220 Boring Cartridge for axial-radial offset roughing (ARS), expands on previous methods that were either symmetrical or asymmetrical. Designed for use with the Walter B3220 and usable with the Walter B3221 and B3224 boring tools, it brings ARS capabilities to an array of new applications.
By doubling the tool’s cutting widths, the cartridge increases metal removal rates, saving time. The B3220 Boring Cartridge eliminates the need for additional processing steps and tools. In addition, the tool provides good chip control, stable machining conditions, and heightened process reliability.
All common ISO materials can be machined with the B3220 Boring Cartridge which can use an extensive range of indexable inserts. It is suitable for thru hole, line hole, and step cuts. Applications include chassis, large engine, and gearbox roughing in the automotive industry.
