Designed with a length to diameter ratio of approximately 4-1/2 to 1 , this line of carbide boring tools features set-screw flats that position the cutting edge on exact centerline when used in a Criterion Reaming head.
They are available in two all-purpose grades of carbide - the ABT tools are a grade C-2 and are used on cast iron and all non-ferrous materials. The SBT tools are a grade C-6 and are intended for use on steel and other continuous chip materials. For the correct grade for your particular job we suggest you contact your carbide supplier or you may refer to the comparison charts found in most carbide catalogs.
Carbide Boring Tools with minimum boring diameters of 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 feature a solid carbide neck and head.
