The kit includes an EWN boring head, two 16mm toolholders (one solid carbide and one steel), three peripherally clamped insert holders and six centrally clamped insert holders. Heads and holders are supported with a box of 10 inserts for the toolholders, two wrenches and a coolant nozzle.

As with all cutting tools, boring tools can only perform to the parameters of the machine tool and toolholding configuration. This is why ITC will also be giving away a free toolholder shank from Big Kaiser with every boring kit purchase.

Commenting upon this offer, Peter Grave, ITC's MD, says: "The combination of a Big Kaiser toolholder and the precision 'boring-kit' will give end users precision, surface finishes and productivity levels that will genuinely affirm the importance of combining high quality toolholding with industry leading tooling or boring tools."

The offer of 50% off Big Kaiser boring tools from ITC is only available for a limited period. For further details, please contact your local ITC representative or visit MACH 2016 where ITC will have the 'ready-to-go' boring kits on its stand – 5220.
