S16Q ST-CR Boring Bar — 60° cutting angle, for TC-- 16T3 inserts (Teknik Makina)

A S16Q ST-CR boring bar designed for right-hand machining with TC-- 16T3 indexable inserts, optimised for stable internal turning and finishing in CNC operations

• S16Q ST-CR ISO designation
• Compatible with TC-- 16T3 inserts
• 60° cutting angle for stability
• 16 mm shank diameter
• Robust 0.817 kg construction

Greater process stability through optimised cutting geometry

The combination of a 60° cutting angle and a right-hand cutting orientation ensures reduced vibration and improved tool engagement during internal machining. This geometry increases contact stability between insert and workpiece, which directly supports consistent surface quality and longer insert life. By favouring mechanical steadiness over aggressive overcutting, the design reduces the risk of chatter and helps maintain repeatable tolerances in serial production runs.

Fast tool changes and predictable insert compatibility

Compatibility with TC-- 16T3 and standard indexable inserts streamlines tooling inventories and shortens downtime during insert replacement. The insert format is widely used across turning and boring applications, enabling easy sourcing and interchangeability. As a result, setup time is minimised and the machining cell benefits from predictable cutting behaviour, which supports higher throughput without complex requalification steps between shifts.

Compact dimensions for rigid mounting and accessible handling

With a 16 mm shank, a 20 mm diameter and a compact 180 mm overall length, the bar balances accessibility with rigidity. The modest mass of 0.817 kg helps to lower centrifugal and deflection effects in medium-speed operations while still providing the inertia needed for smooth cuts. These dimensions mean the tool fits common toolholders and fixturing systems, offering straightforward integration into existing toolposts and reducing the need for additional adapters.

Practical advantages for workshop and production use

The tooling concept is engineered to support routine machining tasks where reliability and repeatability are paramount. The S16Q ST-CR boring bar aids in reducing cycle time variance and simplifies maintenance intervals thanks to standardised insert interfaces. For shops focused on consistent output and efficient changeovers, this tool delivers measurable benefits in process control and operational uptime by concentrating on the core metrics of rigidity and repeatability.

FAQ

What insert type does this boring bar accept?
The S16Q ST-CR boring bar accepts TC-- 16T3 indexable inserts, which are specified for easy replacement and standardised performance in turning and boring operations.

Is the bar suitable for right-hand cutting only?
Yes, the tool is configured for right-hand cutting; the Teknik Makina S16Q ST-CR (SKU K180TM) is manufactured for right-hand machining applications.

What are the key dimensions to check for toolholder compatibility?
Check the 16 mm shank diameter, 20 mm diameter and 180 mm overall length to ensure correct fit in the toolholder and adequate clearance in the work envelope for the Teknik Makina boring bar.

How does the 60° cutting angle benefit production?
The 60° cutting angle improves contact stability and reduces chatter, which enhances surface finish and extends insert life when using the S16Q ST-CR tool with TC-- 16T3 inserts.

Can this boring bar be used in standard CNC lathes without special adapters?
In most cases the 16 mm shank and ISO designation allow direct mounting in common toolposts; verify holder compatibility with the S16Q ST-CR (Teknik Makina) dimensions before final installation.
