Cam & Crank Line Boring Tools

Our Cam & Crank Line Boring Tool Capabilities & Specs

  • Tooling Applications – Camshaft and crankshaft bearing bores in engine blocks, housings, and cases.
  • Tool Types – Single- and multi-cutter boring tools, line bar systems, modular boring heads, and adjustable tool holders.
  • Bore Diameter Range – Capable of boring diameters from 1.00" to over 6.00" (25 mm to 150+ mm).
  • Tolerances – Holds geometric tolerances within ±0.0002" for concentricity and straightness.
  • Material Removal – Designed for both rough and finish boring in cast iron, steel, aluminum, and alloys.
  • Tool Geometry – Custom insert geometries and chipbreakers to optimize material flow and surface finish.
  • Tool Holding Systems – Custom arbors, tapered interfaces, and drawbar connections for rigid, repeatable mounting.
  • Coolant Delivery – Integrated coolant channels for better chip evacuation and tool life.
  • Coatings & Materials – ISO Carbides available with wear-resistant coatings.
  • Machine Compatibility – Compatible with CNC, horizontal machining centers, and dedicated boring machines.
  • Engineered Integration – Custom tooling matched to spindle specs, tool changers, and fixturing setups.

Benefits of Precision Line Boring Tools from ACTS

  • Improved Engine Alignment – Ensures perfect alignment of crank and cam bores for optimal engine performance.
  • Consistent Quality – Precision boring tools reduce part variation and eliminate manual rework.
  • Reduced Cycle Time – Multi-cutter configurations reduce the number of passes required.
  • Minimized Downtime – Long-lasting inserts and balanced cutting reduce vibration and tool wear.
  • Extended Machine Life – Smooth cutting action lowers stress on spindles and tool holders.
  • Custom-Fit to Application – Designed for your specific engine architecture and production requirements.
  • Higher Throughput – Supports high-volume production with rapid tool change and setup.
  • Superior Surface Finish – Maintains critical surface finishes for bearing fits and sealing surfaces.
  • Optimized Chip Control – Custom insert designs ensure efficient chip flow and reduced buildup.
  • Total Engine Coverage – Available for both inline and V-style engines, multi-bank applications, and custom layouts.
