Which cutting tool solutions does BOR Carbide offer?

BOR Carbide offers indexable drilling tools, threadmills, Pikko tools, slot milling, milling tools, cartridges, special inserts, deep hole drilling and special tools.

Which requirements can BOR Carbide products address?

BOR Carbide products can be considered for custom tooling, thread mills, mini boring, slot milling, deep hole drilling and special inserts where standard catalogue tools are insufficient.

What information is required for custom tooling?

Custom tooling assessment should consider the workpiece drawing, material, operation type, machine, workholding, current tool life, target cycle time and tolerance requirements together.

Technical assessment based on operating conditions for custom tooling, thread mills, Pikko, slot milling and deep hole drilling.

A focus on custom tooling and processes

BOR Carbide solutions for jobs beyond standard tooling

BOR Carbide focuses on special and non-standard machining requirements with indexable drilling tools, threadmills and Pikko tools, slot milling, milling tools, cartridges, special inserts, deep hole drilling and special tools.

Balkanlar Mühendislik technically assesses BOR Carbide products particularly for applications where workpiece geometry, current tool life, cycle time or process stability presents a challenge.

This page explains the production problems behind the need for custom tooling, thread mills, Pikko, slot milling or deep hole drilling, alongside the relevant product groups.

Which BOR Carbide solution fits your needs?

A cutting tool requirement often begins with a problem: tool breakage, long cycle times, dimensional errors, chip evacuation or a standard tool that cannot reach the part. These issues guide the choice of product family.

Custom tooling and special insert requirements

When standard catalogue products cannot accommodate the workpiece geometry, special inserts, custom solid tools, stepped tools or application-specific geometries may be required.

Thread mills and internal/external threading

Single-tooth, three-tooth, full-thread, BSP, BSPT, NPT, ACME and trapezoidal thread mill solutions are assessed according to hole type, material and tolerance requirements.

Pikko and mini boring applications

Access, vibration and chip evacuation are considered together for small-diameter internal turning, internal grooving, mini copy boring, reverse boring and small-part machining.

Deep hole drilling

Hole accuracy, chip evacuation, coolant, tool length and process stability are key considerations in deep hole drilling.

Slot milling and groove machining

Matching groove width, tool rigidity, surface finish and chip load to the right product family can improve machining time and tool life.

Improving process time and cost

BOR Carbide product selection should consider tool price, cycle time, tool life, scrap risk and total cost per part together.

Common requirements for BOR Carbide products

BOR Carbide products are usually considered when standard tools cannot meet an operation's needs. Requirements for indexable drilling, custom U-drills, stepped drills, thread mills, Pikko mini boring, slot milling and special inserts often arise from limitations in an existing process.

In these applications, workpiece material, technical drawings, tolerance requirements, machine rigidity, workholding, coolant, cutting parameters and target cycle time should be assessed alongside the product code.

Information required for custom tooling

Workpiece drawing, material and tolerance requirements
Operation type: drilling, milling, thread milling, grooving or deep hole drilling
Current tool, cycle time, tool life and the problem encountered
Machine, workholding, coolant and cutting parameters
Target: shorter cycle time, lower cost, improved surface finish or greater dimensional stability

Balkanlar Mühendislik support for BOR Carbide product selection

BOR Carbide custom tooling and engineering solutions are assessed through Balkanlar Mühendislik's process-based approach. The aim is to understand why an operation is struggling as well as identify a suitable product.

A thorough analysis of the workpiece and operation clarifies the need for custom tools, thread mills, Pikko, deep hole drilling or special inserts. Balkanlar Mühendislik supports this process with the right method, product and practical cutting strategy.
