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
Typical Applications
| Application | Machining Purpose |
|---|---|
| Small-Hole Boring | Enlarging and correcting small pre-machined holes to the required internal diameter. |
| Precision Bore Finishing | Final internal turning passes requiring controlled diameter, roundness and surface finish. |
| Internal Shoulder Machining | Finishing short internal steps, shoulders and recessed bore features. |
| Deep or Recessed Bores | Long-reach models provide access to internal features positioned farther from the bore entrance. |

Micro Internal Tooling Selection


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
Selection Guidance
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.
