Characteristics for

maximum outputFor more than 60 years MAPAL has been using precision tools for fine machining of bores to meet the highest quality standards of machining with geometrically defined cutting edges. The MAPAL tool portfolio offers a unique range of reaming and fine boring tools for this purpose with various cutting systems. In addition to designs with guide pads, an entire series of fixed multi-bladed reamers is also available. Fixed reamers are used in fine machining of bores especially when short machining times and high productivity are important. For example, moderate cutting speeds due to the material can be compensated for in mass production of steel and cast parts by high feed rates. Depending on the diameter, MAPAL FixReam reamers have between four and eight cutting edges, which allows them to reach the required high feed rates.

Another advantage of fixed multi-bladed reamers is that they are very easy to handle when used. Bore qualities in the range of IT 7 can be achieved with no adjustments and with process reliability. This is in partly due to the high manufacturing quality of FixReam reamers. These reamer, produced in ultra-modern production facilities to meet high quality standards, have been used for demanding machining tasks for many years with excellent results.

Bisher meist übliche DIN- und DIN-ähnliche Werkzeuge werden den heutigen Forderungen nach hoher Produktivität, zum Beispiel beim Einsatz auf Bearbeitungszentren, nicht mehr gerecht. Insbesondere die Baureihen der FixReam Reibahlen mit innerer Kühlmittelzufuhr erfüllen diese Anforderungen und zeichnen sich durch die folgenden besonderen Kennzeichen für den wirtschaftlichen Einsatz in einem breiten Werkstoff- und Bauteilspektrum aus:

Characteristics for

maximum output

Internal coolant supplyCutting edges are supplied with cooling lubricant even in deep bores by a sintered central coolant hole. The result is longer tool life and good chip removal.

Solid carbide bodyThis type of tool is based on sturdy blanks made of premium, wear-resistant, finest grade carbide. This basic material features good flexural strength and high hardness.

Radial run-out accuracyRadial run-out is an important factor in determining quality and tool life. The solid carbide body ensures optimum rigidity in the manufacturing process. This is essential for uniform circularity of the tool extending over the cutting edge, arc land chamfer and shank. Even on reground tools there should be no reduction in quality.

Reduced number of shank dimensionsA very small number of shank dimensions ensures the utilisation of the entire diameter range in just a few connections and without any reducing sleeves. The shanks have no clamping surfaces and are practically free of imbalance.

Optimised cutting geometryThe geometry of the reamers has been fine-tuned for high-performance reaming. Together with the tool body material, this suppresses the tendency to chatter, even at increased cutting speeds. Tools with modified geometry and coatings are available on short notice for machining difficult materials.

Coating for high performanceCoated tools are a useful option for further extending tool life and preventing build-up on cutting edges. Various modern coatings are available depending on the material being machined to ensure better utilisation of the tool.

The FixReam reamer series cover a wide range of applications.By using different cutting materials and coatings in this manner, it is possible to machine almost any material with these reamers.Many special designs are also available for this purpose, for example high-performance reamers for stainless steel or CFRP machining.The diameter range of 3 - 20 mm extends to all types.Of course for special cases outside this range or for complete machining, MAPAL FixReam reamers are available as custom tools.
