CoroTurn® SL

Modular system of adapters and cutting heads for internal turning, grooving, threading, boring, and multi-task machining, for hole diameters down to 20 mm. For machining in turning centers, lathes, and multi-task machines.

Choose a suitable adapter

There are several adaptive items and tool holding options to choose from. If you work with long overhangs or want to increase productivity, consider a Silent Tools™ dampened boring bar.

Choose the shortest possible overhang

For the best performance of your CoroTurn® SL tool, always choose the shortest possible overhang.

Select a suitable cutting head

Choose a cutting head that fits your application (recommendations below). Consider the SL70 interface for profiling or pocketing large components or difficult-to-reach features.

Always use the right torque

Use the correct tightening torque when mounting the cutting head.

  • SL size: Torque, Nm (lbs)
  • 16: 2 Nm (17.7 lbs)
  • 20: 2.8 Nm (24.8 lbs)
  • 25: 3.7 Nm (32.7 lbs)
  • 32: 8.8 Nm (77.9 lbs)
  • 40: 17 Nm (150 lbs)

Use a device for correct center height

To set the correct center height of cylindrical CoroTurn® SL boring bars, use a setting tool and follow these steps:

  • Attach the tool to the bar using the serrated edge
  • Twist the bar to get the correct center height
  • When the bubble is in the correct position, the bar is parallel and ready to use

Cutting head maintenance

For the best tool performance, check that the insert seat has not been damaged during machining or handling. Remember to check and clean the coupling between the cutting head and the bar when changing the cutting head.
