Indexable Boring Tool Set with 2" Boring Head, R8 Shank & 4 Boring Bars

An indexable boring tool set is designed to efficiently remove material from holes, particularly holes larger than 0.75 inches. Carbide inserts allow for quick and easy replacement without the need to discard the entire tool. 

Boring head features a 1-1/2"-18 threaded back so you can change shanks as needed. A micrometer lead screw provides 0.001" direct reading accuracy and makes adjusting easy. 1 DIV = 0.001 which means when turning the dial by 1 division/graduation, the boring head's travel is 0.001" in radius movement and 0.002" in diameter movement. The heat treated, alloy steel shanks are held to 0.000 to -0.0005" from the nominal diameter. 

  • Boring head offset is 5/8".
  • Minimum boring diameter is 0.394".
  • Maximum boring diameter is 5.906".
  • Maximum boring depth is 1.970".
  • R8 shank has a drawbar end thread of 7/16"-20.
  • The cross hole is 1/2".

The included indexable boring bars come with TCMT 21.5 C6 carbide inserts for steel and alloy. The set also comes with torx & l-shape hex wrenches and a fitted carrying case.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Joseph ★★★★★

The R8 shank fits my mill perfectly with zero slop, and the 2" head lets me step up from 3/4 to 2 inches in one setup. The four included bars cover all my common sizing needs, and each insert indexes cleanly without fiddling.

Edward J. ★★★★★

Finally an indexable boring set that doesn't chatter on the first pass. The R8 shank locks in solid, and having four bars lets me fine-tune the cut without swapping the whole head.

Carter O. ★★★★★

The 2" head gives plenty of clearance for boring deeper holes, and the carbide inserts cut cleanly without chattering. I've already used it on a few cast iron parts and the finish came out great.
