Autofacer Back Spot Facing

Mechanically opened, robust and versatile for creating back spot faces, counterbores, chamfers, spherical cuts or profiled surfaces in CNC machine tools and special purpose machines. 

 

The “Autofacer” tools perform manual or automatic back spotfacing and counterboring operations up to 2.2x’s the pilot bore diameter (greater on larger diameter tools) 

  • Chip-to-Chip times reduced by as much as 80% over conventional tools 
  • Eliminates costly second operations and saves time through process improvement 
  • Carbide tipped, indexable inserts and PCD tips available in a range of grades and coatings 
  • Internal mechanism ensures the blade opens and closes positively and reliably each and every time 
  • Tools can perform heavy interrupted cuts smoothly without excessive chatter 
  • Ø6.35mm (Ø0.250") minimum pilot hole diameter 
  • Unlimited depth-to-diameter ratio due to the support pilot 
  • Fast, simple cutter change 
  • Precision back boring and large diameter tools available 
  • Short delivery times using standard components
  • Robust and versatile
  • Back spotface, counterbore, seat pocket machine or chamfer
  • Produce spherical or profile spotfaces
  • Works on interupted surfaces

Eliminate Secondary Operations

Take a moment to explore the fascinating performance of automatic back spot-facing tools. 

Producing back spotfaces and back counterbores is made easy using the Autofacer tool. It eliminates secondary operations and removes the need for operator intervention in the machine cycle.
