Boring bar A16Q for VBMT 1103 – 20 mm, internal coolant (Teknik Makina)

A boring bar for VBMT 1103 indexable inserts, optimised for right-hand turning with internal coolant for improved chip control and insert life.

• A16Q ISO designation for standard fit
• 20 mm diameter with 16 mm shank
• Internal coolant for chip evacuation
• Compatible with VBMT 1103 inserts

Precision and compatibility for modern turning centres

The holder follows the A16Q specification and is designed specifically for VBMT 1103 indexable inserts, providing consistent seating and repeatable positioning. With a 20 mm tool diameter and 16 mm shank, the component offers a compact footprint while maintaining sufficient rigidity for typical workshop and light industrial turning tasks. The 11 mm clamp width at the cutting head secures the insert reliably, reducing the need for frequent re‑indexing and therefore shortening total set‑up time. As a result, operators benefit from increased process stability and predictable machining results when integrating this tool into standard tool posts and turret systems.

Cooling and geometry that improve cutting stability and finish

Built‑in internal coolant channels focus coolant directly at the cutting edge to assist in chip evacuation and thermal management; this delivers measurable advantages in surface finish and insert life for continuous operations. The tool’s 107.5° approach angle moderates cutting forces and helps to distribute load across the insert, while the right‑hand cutting orientation suits standard lathe programming. Fastening is secured with a T8 Torx key and M2.5x6.5 Torx screw for a robust clamp that resists loosening under vibration. Together, these design elements enable higher effective cutting parameters without compromising repeatability, translating into better throughput and fewer unscheduled tool changes.

Compact design for efficient workflow and straightforward maintenance

At an overall length of 180 mm and a mass of 0.276 kg, this tool balances accessibility in confined setups with enough reach for internal and external boring tasks. The moderate weight reduces inertial loading during rapid indexing, supporting smoother cycle execution. The SKU KA216TM identifies the configuration with inner cooling and VBMT 1103 compatibility, simplifying spare‑parts handling and reorders. The construction supports routine maintenance: coolant channels remain accessible for cleaning and the standard Torx fastening allows quick insert changes with common workshop tools. For operations seeking dependable short‑run flexibility and easy integration into existing inventories, this tool offers a concise engineering solution.

FAQ

Which inserts are compatible with this tool?
The boring bar is designed for VBMT 1103 indexable inserts; the KA216TM configuration provides the correct clamp geometry and seating for that insert type.

Does the tool support internal cooling?
Yes — the KA216TM features internal coolant channels that direct fluid to the cutting zone to aid chip evacuation and reduce thermal load on the insert.

What shank size is required for mounting?
Mounting requires a tool holder or turret capable of accepting a 16 mm shank; the compact shank keeps the overall assembly stable in standard tool posts.

How does the cutting angle affect machining?
The 107.5° approach angle moderates axial and radial forces, improving load distribution across the insert and helping to achieve consistent surface finish under steady cutting conditions.

Is the fastening system easy to service?
Yes — insert clamping uses a T8 Torx key and M2.5x6.5 Torx screw, enabling quick insert changes with commonly available workshop tools.
