MTR Solid Carbide Micro Boring Bar Overview

The MTR Series is a precision-ground solid carbide micro boring bar designed for internal turning, bore finishing and diameter correction in small-diameter holes. Its compact cutting geometry provides access to miniature bores and internal shoulders while the one-piece carbide construction helps maintain rigidity and dimensional stability.

Standard models cover cutting diameters from Ø0.8 to Ø11.9 mm, nose radii from R0.05 to R0.40 mm and clearance lengths from 3 to 50 mm. Standard and extended-length versions are available for precision components, sleeves, bushings, hydraulic parts and other CNC-turned components.

Key Product Features

• Small-Bore Internal TurningCutting diameters from Ø0.8 to Ø11.9 mm support precision boring and finishing of miniature internal features.
• Precision-Ground Cutting GeometryA 5° front relief and 7° clearance geometry provide cutting-edge access while reducing unnecessary contact with the bore wall.
• Fine-Grain Solid CarbideThe one-piece carbide body provides higher rigidity than conventional miniature steel-shank tools and helps control vibration during internal machining.
• Standard and Long-Reach OptionsClearance lengths from 3 to 50 mm and overall lengths up to 100 mm are available for shallow bores and recessed internal features.

Typical Applications

Application Machining Purpose

Micro Internal Tooling Selection

Solid carbide micro internal boring tool series
Micro internal tooling selection guide

Selection Recommendation

Select the MTR model according to cutting diameter d1, nose radius R, required cutting depth Q, clearance length L1, shank diameter D and overall length L. Use the shortest practical clearance length and the largest shank diameter permitted by the bore to maximize rigidity. Extended-length models should only be selected when the internal feature cannot be reached with a standard-length tool.

Extended-Length Options

Selected MTR4.0, MTR5.0, MTR6.0, MTR8.0, MTR10 and MTR12 models are available with extended overall lengths of 60, 75 or 100 mm. Overall length L and clearance length L1 are different dimensions: always confirm that the specified L1 is sufficient to reach the machining position.

Selection Guidance

1. Confirm Bore ClearanceCheck the entry diameter, finished bore diameter, internal shoulders and complete retraction path.
2. Select the Shortest L1Use the shortest clearance length capable of reaching the feature to reduce deflection and vibration.
3. Select the Nose RadiusSmaller radii reduce cutting forces; larger radii provide a stronger cutting edge when machine rigidity permits.
4. Maximize Shank RigidityChoose the largest shank diameter compatible with the bore and holder, and minimize unsupported overhang.

Recommended Starting Conditions

  • Set the cutting edge accurately on the spindle centerline.
  • Use the shortest practical tool overhang and a high-precision holder.
  • Check tool runout before machining miniature bores.
  • Begin with a conservative depth of cut and feed, especially on long-reach models.
  • Provide effective coolant or air flow to evacuate chips from the bore.
  • Reduce cutting load if chatter, taper or dimensional variation occurs.
  • Adjust speed and feed according to workpiece material, coating, rigidity and bore depth.

FAQ & Downloads

Product FAQs

What are MTR micro boring bars used for?
MTR solid carbide micro boring bars are designed for small-bore internal turning, bore enlargement, diameter correction and precision finishing. They can also machine short internal shoulders and recessed bore features when sufficient tool clearance is available.
What cutting diameters are available in the MTR Series?
Standard models cover cutting diameters from Ø0.8 to Ø11.9 mm. The range includes Ø4, Ø5, Ø6, Ø8, Ø10 and Ø12 mm shanks, allowing the tool size and rigidity to be matched to the bore and toolholder.
Which nose radii are available?
Depending on the cutting diameter, standard nose radii include R0.05, R0.10, R0.15, R0.20 and R0.40 mm. A smaller radius generally reduces cutting forces, while a larger radius provides a stronger cutting edge when machine and workpiece rigidity are sufficient.
Are long-reach MTR boring bars available?
Yes. Standard clearance lengths range from 3 to 50 mm, while selected models are available with overall lengths of 60, 75 or 100 mm. Because clearance length and overall length are different dimensions, both values should be confirmed before ordering.

Selection & Application FAQs

How do I select the correct MTR boring bar?
Select the tool according to cutting diameter d1, nose radius R, required cutting depth Q, clearance length L1, shank diameter D and overall length L. Check the bore entrance, internal shoulders and complete cutting and retraction path before confirming the model.
Which workpiece materials can be machined?
MTR boring bars are recommended for carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and copper alloys. Suitable applications also include pre-hardened steel, cast iron and titanium alloys. Application-specific coated versions are available for titanium alloys and other difficult-to-machine materials.
How can I reduce vibration when boring a small hole?
Use the shortest practical clearance length and tool overhang, select the largest shank diameter permitted by the bore, and use a high-precision holder. The cutting edge should be accurately aligned with the spindle centerline, and the feed and depth of cut should be reduced if chatter occurs.
How should chips be removed from a small bore?
Direct suitable coolant or compressed air toward the cutting zone and avoid allowing chips to accumulate inside the bore. For deep or restricted holes, use controlled cutting passes and retract the tool when necessary to clear chips safely.
Can the MTR bar machine hardened steel?
Selected MTR tools may be used for light finishing of pre-hardened steel and hardened steel below approximately 48 HRC. The carbide grade, coating, nose radius and cutting parameters should be confirmed according to the exact hardness, bore depth and required surface finish.

Ordering & OEM FAQs

Can you manufacture custom MTR micro boring bars?
Yes. Cutting diameter, nose radius, cutting depth, clearance length, shank diameter, overall length, coating and cutting geometry can be customized according to drawings, samples or specific machining requirements.
Can distributors order mixed MTR models?
Yes. Mixed-model orders and small trial quantities can be reviewed according to the required sizes and available stock. The standard minimum order quantity is normally 10 pieces, subject to final model confirmation.
Is private-label packaging and OEM marking available?
Yes. OEM services can include laser marking, model identification, custom labels and private-label packaging. Please provide the logo file, marking position and packaging requirements when requesting a quotation.
What information is required for a quotation?
Please provide the standard model number or component drawing, bore diameter, machining depth, workpiece material, required nose radius, quantity and any coating, marking or packaging requirements. For special tools, a drawing of the internal feature is recommended.
What is the lead time for MTR boring bars?
In-stock standard models can normally be dispatched within 1–3 working days after order confirmation. Lead times for customized tools depend on the geometry, coating, quantity and inspection requirements and will be confirmed separately.
