The Shefcut design concept
Conventional multi-fluted reamers are guided by their cutting edges. The Shefcut design separates the cutting, guiding, and supporting functions of the tool for maximum advantage.
Because the cutting blade is independent of the tool body, it can be micro-adjusted over a limited range and pre-set to a cut diameter that the tool will then produce with consistent accuracy. Worn cutting blades can be replaced quickly and easily.
Pads that are independent of the cutting blade optimize the guiding and supporting functions of the tool. While the tool is in operation, cutting forces are opposed by pad reaction forces in perfect balance, providing rigid support for the blade edge. Pads can be tailored to suit the application; e.g., for interrupted cuts, piloted operations, etc.
Machining camshaft bores on machining center line: Shefcut short-length pad-guided tool semi-finishes and finishes first journal. Piloting in finished first journal, Shefcut long-length pad-guided tool semi-finishes and finishes remaining journals.
