During high-performance reaming of through-holes or deep blind holes, standard solutions often reach their technical limits. Long-chipping materials and those that are difficult to cut make it necessary to modify the tool system as well as the internal coolant supply. Accordingly, Horn Cutting Tools will announce the availability of bespoke, additively manufactured coolant discs that can be screwed on to the tool shank to ensure reliable chip control.

It results in extended tool life due to the direct, targeted cooling and, above all, reliable chip removal. Additive manufacturing enables the coolant outlets to be freely designed so the form of the outlets prevents chips from entering. Furthermore, the cross-section and exit angle of the cooling channel can be adapted to suit the specific machining task and the material to be processed.
Due to the polished and coated flutes, the tool shank facilitates removal of chips from the machining zone. The combination of the shank, the solid carbide reaming inserts and 3D-printed coolant discs demonstrates Horn’s expertise in machining of drilled holes and reaffirms the company’s status as a problem solver and technology leader.
