• Compatible with TCMT 16T3 indexable inserts
• 90° cutting angle for precise boring
• Robust design by Teknik Makina

Consistent hole geometry through stable cutting dynamics

The KA181TM boring bar delivers repeatable results thanks to its 90° cutting angle, which promotes axial stability and reduces radial deflection during machining. This geometry is particularly effective for maintaining concentricity and dimensional tolerances when using indexable inserts, resulting in fewer rework cycles and more reliable production parts. The solid construction minimises vibration, so feed and speed can be applied with confidence while preserving surface finish quality.

Targeted coolant flow to protect inserts and reduce downtime

An integrated internal coolant channel directs cutting fluid towards the cutting zone, improving chip evacuation and thermal management at the tool–workpiece interface. Better cooling reduces insert wear and the likelihood of built-up edge, extending tool life and reducing changeover frequency. For operations where consistent cycle times and predictable maintenance intervals matter, this targeted coolant delivery translates into measurable gains in uptime and process stability.

Seamless integration with indexable systems and workshop setups

Designed specifically for use with TCMT 16T3 indexable inserts, the boring bar fits directly into common toolholder arrangements and supports quick insert changes for minimal interruption. The product's clear specification and industrial provenance from Teknik Makina make it straightforward to plan replacements and stocking. Delivery and logistics are handled from Metav Werkzeuge’s Emmerich facility, ensuring dependable availability for production schedules and a transparent supply chain.
