TOOL$AVER 1 X 12 Carbide Boring Bar VersaBar C16-VBX-12.00 1 FREE HEAD USA MADE

  

1- C16-VBX-12.00 VersaBar Carbide Modular Shank Package - No Coolant. VH16M25-SCLCR3 (CCMT 32.52) VersaBar Head Min Bore 1.170. 1.00" X 12.00" OAL (with head mounted). Coupling Mount Accepts Any VH16M25 VersaBar Head.

Note: Shank can be shortened if desired upon request. VersaBar was developed to replace fixed-pocket carbide boring bars (Iscar, Kennametal, Kyocera, Mitsubishi, Sandvik, Seco, Sumitomo, Tungaloy, UltraDex, Walter). VersaBar heads with identical geometry as ANSI fixed-pocket bars (lead angle, rake, minimum bore) ensure no program alterations necessary. Variety of Head/Pocket Styles Available. RH & LH Mount To Same Shank.

Same Head Mounts To Metric Shank. Coolant & Non-Coolant Shanks Available In Various Lengths. Rigid Modular Connection with Single Screw For Fast Head Change.

Faster Setups By Preserving Offsets - Change Out Head Instead Of Shank. Less Downtime From Pocket Crash - Change Out Head Instead Of Shank. Factory Retrofit & Repair Service.

Fixed-pocket and VersaBar are manufactured in our production facility in Dickinson, Texas. VersaBar modular heads utilize standard ANSI inserts.

Shanks accept RH & LH heads. Metric shanks accept inch heads (we also retrofit metric shanks). Standard shanks are stocked in 5:1 and 8:1 lengths, both coolant and non-coolant fed. Repurposed shanks retrofitted to VersaBar (highly economical) are available in various lengths.

Custom heads (with special geometry) available is as little as a week. See the VersaBar Product Supplement here. VersaBar heads are produced from heat treated carbon steel, providing superior performance and longevity. Unfortunately, steel heads brazed to fixed-pocket bars anneal (sacrifice their hardness) during the brazing process.

This phenomenon occurs with any fixed-pocket bar, regardless of brand. Slow cooling necessarily draws hardness from the steel head.

Soft pockets are problematic as they are prone to early wear and tear. This becomes an operator's worst nightmare. The insert becomes unstable (even when the lock screw is tight) allowing insert shifting which alters cut diameter and chips the insert edge, possibly scrapping a part. Chipping impacts tool life, dimensionality and surface finish. "Loose" pockets lead to catastrophic failure (a snapping of the insert corner).

The expensive shank must be replaced. The cost is downtime, plus the cost of the replacement shank.

What if a replacement is not readily available? VersaBar heads bolt on, so they avoid the brazing process altogether.

Heat treated VersaBar heads increase the value of your investment exponentially. When a VersaBar head becomes worn or is crashed, smart operators have their VersaBar backup head on the bench in que, eliminating costly downtime.

Demand for additional pocket styles and shanks provided the impetus to expand VersaBar to what it is today, with numerous pocket options (insert styles) and shanks available. Retrofitting remains a significant (and highly economical) feature of the VersaBar program. Then your operators can start using heat treated VersaBar heads. Our seasoned management team has more than a century of experience in designing and manufacturing all types of indexable tools. We understand how they work which provides us the know-how to fix any crashed (or worn) indexable tool, at a fraction of replacement cost.

For example, a worn extended length 3/4" carbide end mill (with short flutes) can be repurposed into a new 3/4" boring bar. A broken boring bar (with qualified shank) can become a stubby boring bar. Our mission is to make it so affordable every shop can go rigid! High performance at a bargain price.

Thank you for choosing us. You won't be disappointed.
