Chamfering corners is a crucial machining process used to remove sharp edges, improve component fit, reduce stress concentrations, and enhance overall aesthetics. Erix Tool offers a range of precision-engineered tools designed specifically for automatic chamfering, ensuring consistent, efficient, and high-quality results.
What Is Chamfering?
Chamfering involves cutting a bevel at a specific angle—commonly 30°, 45°, or 60°—along the edge or corner of a hole or surface. This process facilitates assembly, eliminates sharp edges, and prepares surfaces for welding or painting.
Erix Tool Chamfering Solutions
Erix Tool provides industry-leading chamfering tools for back chamfering, front and back chamfering, and custom-angle chamfering. These tools are known for their automatic operation, durability, and ability to reach areas that conventional tools cannot.
Back Chamfering Tools
- Available for standard angles: 30°, 45°, and 60°.
- Hole size range: .188″ to 2.688″
- Example: Tool for 45° chamfering — 45–10.3 / 19.3–CS9.5 fits hole size .406” with a chamfer diameter of .760”.
Front and Back Chamfering Tools
- These combination tools can chamfer both sides of a hole in a single setup.
- Ideal for time-saving, high-precision applications.
- Available in standard and special configurations under the 452– prefix.
- Example: Tool 452–13.5 / 21.5–CS12.7 provides 45° chamfering on both sides for .531” holes.
Tool Components and Features
- Spindles: Guide the tool into the hole, available in various sizes with coolant-through capability.
- Wings (Cutters): Swing-out blades that perform the chamfering. Wings can be made of HSS or fitted with carbide inserts (K20 or P40 grades).
- Coolant Through: Enhances chip removal and cooling, preventing thermal damage.
- Secure Insert Clamping: Left-hand Secodex screws ensure robust insert locking under heavy load.
Chamfering Angles and Part Numbers
- 30° chamfering tools use the 30– prefix.
- 45° chamfering tools use the 45– prefix.
- 60° chamfering tools use the 60– prefix.
- Custom angles (e.g., 15° or others) are available as special tools on request.
Operating Guidelines
- Use correct feed and speed based on material and tool size.
- Ensure that the wing has sufficient clearance to swing freely before reversing the spindle.
- Use coolant to enhance surface finish and tool life.
- Match insert quality to material (e.g., K20 for cast iron, P40 for steel).
