Family Overview
A family of tools designed for working in small bores. These tools are made for the high-tech, medical & small components industries. They can be used in machining centers, or with conventional machines. All tools include through-coolant, enabling the cooling fluid to reach the cutting edge efficiently.
Features:
- Supports diameters as small as 1.0 mm (for some tools)
- The through-coolant aids in chip removal, helping to achieve a smooth cutting action
- Most turning applications supported (thread turning, grooving, profiling, boring, and more)
- Variants for both right-hand and left-hand jobs available
The following product lines can used for general turning applications:
MTR/L BARS
A product line of solid carbide bars. Although designed primarily for boring applications, these bars can also handle general turning jobs.
Carbide Grade(s):
DTR/L BARS
A product line consisting of solid carbide bars. Their primary focus is the machining of boring applications. However, they can also handle general turning jobs. They differ from basic MTR/L bars by having a cutting edge made of superhard materials like cubic boron nitride (CBN), a man-made synthetic abrasive, or CVD thick-film diamond, which possesses the highest hardness and wear resistance of all known cutting materials.
Features:
- Suitable for continuous or interrupted cutting
- Minimum bore diameter: 3.1 mm / 0.12 inch
- Both right-hand and left-hand versions available
Cutting Material(s):
MXR/L BARS
These solid carbide bars were originally designed for back turning applications. Additionally, they can also handle grooving and general turning jobs.
Carbide Grade(s):
MPR/L BARS
These bars were created to machine profiling and boring applications (which makes them similar to bars from the MQR/L line). On top of that, they can also be used in general turning jobs.
Carbide Grade(s):
DPR/L BARS
This product line contains solid carbide bars designed to machine profiling and boring applications. Additionally, they can also be used in general turning jobs. They differ from basic MPR/L bars by having a cutting edge made of superhard materials like cubic boron nitride (CBN), a man-made synthetic abrasive, or CVD thick-film diamond, which possesses the highest hardness and wear resistance of all known cutting materials.
Features:
- Suitable for continuous or interrupted cutting
- Minimum bore diameter: 3.1 mm / 0.12 inch
- Both right-hand and left-hand versions available
Cutting Material(s):
MUR/L BARS
This product line consists of solid carbide bars mainly designed to handle profiling and 90° face cutting applications. Additionally, they can also be used in general turning jobs.
Carbide Grade(s):
MQR/L BARS
Similar to MPR/L bars, the solid carbide bars of this product line are optimized for profiling and boring jobs. Furthermore, they are also capable of machining general turning applications.
Carbide Grade(s):
MDR/L BARS
A product line of tools created to perform thread relief, chamfering, and grooving operations. They can also be used to process general turning applications.
Carbide Grade(s):
MCR/L BARS
Solid carbide bars developed for use with chamfering and boring applications. On top of that, they can also be used to in general turning jobs.
Carbide Grade(s):
MKR/L BARS
A product line of solid carbide bars designed to handle full-radius grooving applications; In addition it can also be used for general turning jobs.
Carbide Grade(s):
CMR/L BARS - MULTI-TASK TINY TOOLS
A line of innovative, multi-task Tiny tools; A single bar can handle chamfering, boring, and facing – as well as general turning applications. This allows for a reduction in a number of tools required, which in turn shortens the machining cycle times.
Carbide Grade(s):
CBR/L BARS WITH ADVANCED CHIP BREAKER
This product line contains tools that were designed to handle profiling and boring applications. Its advanced chip breaker combined with the internal coolant bore helps to achieve efficient chip evacuation. This makes the CBR/L bars an excellent solution for machining stainless steels, super alloys, and other materials that create “curly” chips around the tool and the application.
Carbide Grade(s):
BAR HOLDERS
The basic line of bar holders for bars from the Tiny Tools family.
Features:
- Compatible with all currently existing Tiny bars (diameters from 3.0 mm to 10.0 mm)
BAR HOLDERS (WITH FRONT COOLANT ATTACHMENT)
These bar holders provide a modest variation over the basic bar holders, by offering a slightly different geometry, as well as adding a coolant attachment in the front of the holder.
Features:
- Compatible with bars with diameters from 3.0 mm to 8.0 mm
BAR HOLDERS FOR STAR SWISS MACHINES
External turning holders for bars from the Tiny Tools family; Specially designed for operations on Swiss-type CNC lathes by Star® Micronics. The Tiny bar can be gripped in two directions, allowing for a turning operation on both X and Y axis.
Features:
- Designed with internal coolant to the cutting edge
- Coated holders provide abrasion resistance
- Compatible with bars with diameters from 3.0 mm to 10.0 mm
CIM - FAST CLAMPING SYSTEM
The innovative CIM clamping system provides high precision and repeatability, as well as a fast and simple way to change the Tiny Tools bar – without removing the CIM holder, or engaging in additional tool setup. It includes an internal tool indexing mechanism which indexes the tool in the correct position, as well as strong and rigid collet clamping for high stability.
For additional information. you can view a diagram of the clamping system, or read the instructions for use (IFU).
Features:
- No screws required
- Internal coolant through the CIM holder and the Tiny Tools bar to the cutting edge
- Holders with 3 clamping flats on the shank for maximum flexibility
- Compatible with bars with diameters from 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm
SQUARE SHANK HOLDERS (VERTICAL)
A product line of bar holders with square shanks; To be used where such a shank is required (typically: Automatic/Swiss-type machines, etc.). These holders were designed to be used with a vertical lathe.
Features:
- Compatible with bars with diameters from 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm
SQUARE SHANK HOLDERS (RIGHT-HAND)
A product line of bar holders with square shanks; To be used where such a shank is required (typically: Automatic/Swiss-type machines, etc.). These holders were developed for right-hand machining.
Features:
- Compatible with bars with diameters from 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm
SQUARE SHANK HOLDERS (WITH KNEE)
A product line of bar holders with square shanks; To be used where such a shank is required (typically: Automatic/Swiss-type machines, etc.). This variant comes in a “knee” form.
Features:
- Compatible with bars with diameters from 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm
