Boring HeadKaizen Project By: Tyson Meeks Christopher Tockey
Storage, Purpose and Tips Purpose Boring heads are used to create large diameter holes when tolerances do not allow for a drill bit or do not have a large enough drill bit/reamer. Can also be used to enlarge holes, or adjust hole centerlines in certain instances. Storage Cabinet #7, bottom drawer labeled “Boring Head” • Tips • Adjustments for cutting depth are on diameter basis • For smooth finish remove .002” on final pass • Use cutting oil to cool and lubricate tool Cabinet #7 • Safety • Be sure all set screws are tight before operation • Be sure boring bar has clearance to fit into hole when boring • Remove Allen wrench before turning mill on • Double check mill speed before operation Bottom Drawer in gray box • Tool Sources • MSC Industrial Supply <http://www1.mscdirect.com> • Big Kaiser Precision Tooling Inc. <http://www.bigkaiser.com>
