Multi Diameter Cavity Machining Tools

Overview

Star SU has perfected a line of cavity/porting tools that will allow cuts from either a solid or cast core casting condition. In many cases, these multi-step tools will allow cavity machining in one pass or shot.

When machining fluid power cavities, there are several characteristics that are very critical to the performance of the hydraulic port. The most important characteristics for the cavities are controlling bore size, roundness and the finishes for these machined diameters to prevent leakage. Each of the diameters or forms machined for a given cavity on your part that are not generated correctly can damage the seals or O-rings, and also can result with the failure of the manifold/valve body.

The most accurate way to produce the cavity is by using either one or two passes with a solid carbide tool. Our latest engineered designs have replaced traditional sub-landed tools and hold extremely tight tolerances. The number of tools used to machine the cavity is determined by the diameter sizes and depths of cut. Our Engineering Department determines tooling needs at the time of the proposal.

Carbide Drills & Reamers

• Multi Diameter Cavity Machining Tools

  

  Star SU has perfected a line of cavity/porting tools that will allow cuts from either a solid or cast core casting condition. In many cases, these multi-step tools will allow cavity machining in one pass or shot.

• Solid Carbide Drills

  

  Star SU's specially designed, solid carbide drills are available as straight or helical drills, single or multiple diameters drills, single or multiple-flute design, diameter range starting from 0.1875" (4.76 mm).

• Solid Carbide Core Drills

  

  Star SU has special design and build core drills that are ideal for machining aluminum, ductil, nodular, and compacted graphite irons (CJI).

• Reamers

  

  Star SU reamers are made in both multiple flute and multi-diameter types. Based on the overall length of the tool required to machine your feature, we can manufacture a solid carbide reamer or braze a solid carbide reamer head to a tubular steel body.

• Super Round Tool (SRT)

  

  Super Round Tool (SRT) Lead InThe SRT is an original Star Cutter Company design and build product that offers a unique, patented design that combines two tools into one — multiple straight flutes for consistent location and multiple helical flutes to ensure roundness and finish.

• Valve Guide Reamers

  

  Star SU valve guide reamers utilize pressurized coolant to force chips ahead of the tool to produce ultra-smooth, ultraprecise holes. They produce holes to tolerance of 0.0005" (0.13 mm) and less in steel, cast iron, compacted graphite iron, nodular iron, aluminum, bronze and exotic materials.
