Heule Precision Tools highlights its newly enhanced BSF Air tooling, which it says is the first tooling system designed for automatic back spotfacing using compressed air activation. Designed for applications where through coolant activation is not possible, the Heule BSF Air Tool delivers precision back spotfacing using shop air to activate the tool, thus eliminating the need for through spindle coolant. This new innovation in Heule’s back spotfacing line of tools helps add another level of accommodation for end users that want to automate their back spotfacing operations, improve their cycle times and reduce their costs.

This unique tooling is available at the company’s U.S. warehouse and is said to be suitable for bore diameters of 6.5 mm to 21 mm and offer counter bores up to 2.3 times diameter.

Heule Precision Tools supports a wide range of hole-finishing tools for front and back deburring, countersinking, chamfering and counterboring for larger industrial manufacturing companies throughout North America. The company specializes in high production environments in the automotive, aerospace, energy and medical industries.
