Boring Bars and Grinding Quills
Chatter Free™ and Super Chatter Free™ are THE standards for vibration-free machining and grinding. They're used when rigidity and minimal vibration are crucial. The high density of tungsten means it's an ideal material to make vibration-free boring bars.
Using Chatter Free means making heavier cuts, a longer tool life, and a better finish. Tool extensions of up to 9:1 are possible, depending on the diameter.
With Super Chatter Free, tool extensions up to 10:1 are possible, depending on the diameter. Tools run cooler because of the high thermal conductivity, and you can braze directly to material without affecting its physical properties.
These materials are often used in place of tungsten carbide boring bars because they have a higher density, are readily machinable, and are less prone to chipping and breakage. In addition, both material and finishing costs are less. Click on Chatter Free & Super Chatter Free for further information.
