Open or extremely interrupted bores such as those found, for example, in the cast housings of gear pumps, are a challenge for fine machining.

Spindle tools or pad-guided tools were used for this. These methods are effective, but very time-consuming. In order to allow such bores to be machined faster and hence more cost-effectiveness, MAPAL has developed a multi cutting edged fine boring tool with guide pads. With the development of Mapal Multi…
