Recommendations
- Recommended first choice is the light cutting knife edge geometry (L-K) with nose radius 0.2 mm (0.008 inch)
- Choose a light-cutting insert with a positive geometry for best surface finish and close hole tolerance.
- Choose a small nose radius to minimize vibrations and cutting forces.
- Choose a nose radius smaller than depth of cut
- Wiper inserts can be used with small L/D ratios at high feeds under stable conditions to increase workpiece quality and productivity levels.

Precision adjustment
Single-edge fine boring tools have adjustment possibilities to accurately
pre-set the cutting edge within microns.
- One full turn of the scale will move the insert 0.25 mm (0.010 inch)radially.
- Adjustment with nonius scale (0.002 mm (.00008 inch) on dia.)
- One full turn of the scale will change dia. by 0.5 mm (0.020 inch)
- Each division of the dial has 50 divisions, representing 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch)/ diameter. The vernier has 5 divisions, making it possible to adjust the diameter by 0.002 mm (0.00008 inch).
Sleeves
- Sleeves are available in order to decrease the diameter range from 20 to 16 mm (0.787 to 0.630 inch)
- Example: From diameter 16 mm (0.630 inch) bars in heads to dia 20 mm (0.787 inch) bars

Tool holding
Bending stiffness and torque transmissions are the most important factors when choosing a tool holder for boring operations. For 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 adaptors 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 shortest possible adaptor
- Choose strongest possible adaptor
- If reduction is needed, use tapered version if possible
- For long overhangs (>4 x DCON), use dampened adaptors
- 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, adaptors and shanks.
- Reduced tool inventory with standardized tools minimizing machine downtime
- For boring operations requiring long reach, as in large machining centres in the diameter range of 1–36 mm (0.039–1.42 inch). Deep pockets is a typical application where the Coromant EH system offers the required reach without limiting process security

Complementary adaptors
| Shrink fit adaptors can be used for accessibility purposes. However, CoroBore 825 with integrated dampening mechanism is preferable if accessibility is required. |  | | |
| Shrink fit adaptor | CoroBore 825 Cylindrical shank |
| 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. |  | | |
