VBH-102 – Vertex face and boring head set, MT‑3 taper, M12x1.75P thread

The VBH-102 is a face and boring head set designed for precision machining tasks in toolrooms and small workshop CNC applications.

• Precise face and boring head functionality
• MT‑3 collet taper compatibility
• M12x1.75P threaded connection for stability

Improved accuracy for finishing and bore alignment

The set is designed to deliver consistent surface finish and true bores by combining rigid mounting and precise adjustment. Equipped to accept an MT‑3 collet, the unit ensures axial stability and reduced vibration during cuts, which directly improves concentricity and repeatability. For practical terms: a properly seated taper and the M12x1.75P threaded connection limit play between the head and the spindle, resulting in fewer reworks and a more predictable production flow.

Compatibility and workshop efficiency

Built as a compact solution for varied machining tasks, the head set supports standard Morse taper tooling and can be integrated quickly where an MT‑3 interface is accepted. The comparatively substantial mass (approx. 5.9 kg) contributes to dampening chatter while cutting, shortening cycle times through fewer tool changes and reduced scrap. These operational benefits translate into measurable savings in time and resources for small-batch and prototype work.

Practical operation and upkeep for long-term reliability

The unit functions as a conventional face and boring head: the collet secures the cutting tool while the head allows controlled radial adjustment for precise bore enlargement and facing. Routine checks of taper seating and thread engagement reduce runout; lubrication of moving parts and periodic inspection of the collet tension maintain axial accuracy. The construction supports regular workshop maintenance practices, extending service life and ensuring continued machining precision.

FAQ

What taper does the VBH-102 use?
The VBH-102 uses an MT‑3 collet taper, which is a common Morse taper standard for securing tooling.

What threaded connection is required for mounting?
Mounting requires an M12x1.75P threaded connection as specified for the head interface.

How much does the set weigh?
The complete unit has a weight of approximately 5.9 kg, contributing to stability during cutting.

What machining tasks suit this head set?
This face and boring head set is suitable for precision facing and bore finishing where a Morse taper toolholding and fine radial adjustment are required.

How can runout be minimised when using the head set?
Ensure secure seating of the MT‑3 collet, correct tightening of the M12x1.75P thread and regular inspection of the taper and collet for wear to maintain low runout.
