Recommendations
- Choose CoroBore 111, optimized for rough boring applications KAPR 90° for counterbore operations. Excellent insert for heavy machining and unstable conditions. Recommended depth of cut 15 mm (0.590 inch)KAPR 84° for complex materials such as cladded Inconel
- Choose CoroTurn 107 for general applications, with a wide selection of geometries and grades
- Choose T-Max P for tough applications that require strong inserts and improved process security.
- Step boring is an effective way to increase the depth of cut without excessive vibrations

Cutting data
General recommendations for rough boring:
- Starting data: vc 200 m/min (valid when vc on insert box is bigger than vc 200 m/min) at short overhang. Check insert box for feed and depth of cut recommendations
- vc = 50% of recommended data on label. If vibrations occur, reduce speed and increase feed. Do not use max. recommended feed and ap at the same time.

Tool holding
From diameter 148–300 mm (5.827–11.811 inch), CoroBore XL has integrated adapters with Coromant Capto back-end coupling. For diameter 298–1260 mm (11.732–49.606 inch), the CoroBore XL holders are developed with a unique tool side interface, optimized for large diameter boring. The holders have a large support area, which generates stability and takes up axial forces with large, flat, driving keys to take up the high torque.
Internal coolant both center and flange. Possibility to rotate driving keys and bridge by 90 degrees.
Bending stiffness and torque transmissions are the most important factors when choosing a tool holder for boring operations. For the best stability and hole quality, use Coromant Capto or the Coromant EH system.
Coromant Capto coupling is the only modular tooling system designed for all metal cutting operations, including all hole-making methods. The same cutting tools and adapters can be used in different applications and machines. This makes it possible to standardize on one tooling system for the entire workshop. Remember the following:
- Choose the shortest possible adapter
- Choose the strongest possible adapter
- If reduction is needed, use tapered version, if possible
- For long overhangs (> 4 x DCON), use dampened adapters
- For long overhangs, ensure rigid clamping with flange contact to spindle, if possible
The Coromant EH system delivers great tooling flexibility – Choose from an extensive variety of heads, adapters, and shanks.
- Reduced tool inventory with standardized tools, minimizing machine downtime
- For boring operations requiring long reach, as in large machining centers in the diameter range of 1–36 mm (0.039–1.42 inch). Deep pockets are a typical application where the Coromant EH system offers the required reach without limiting process security

Complementary adapters
Shrink fit adapters can be used for accessibility purposes. However, CoroBore 825 with an integrated dampening mechanism is preferable if accessibility is required. | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |

Collet chucks can be used together with CoroBore 825 cylindrical shanks. However, it is not the optimal solution due to lower clamping forces and larger run-out compared to HydroGrip. Furthermore, it is not individually balanced. | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
