Dover, OH -  Allied Machine  and Engineering   announces the release of   the  Wohlhaupter   VolCut  insert holder, an expansion to their boring line .  The   rough boring  system is engineered to  remove   large  volumes of material at high speeds and light feed rates in  just  one cut .   

VolCut  combines the benefits of  the modularity of the  Wohlhaupter  MVS connection with  Allied Machine and Engineering’s   large diameter  holemaking  solution . This  time-saving  combination offers  increased  material removal   and excellent chip control  at greater depths   for large diameter  applications  -  even on underpowered machines.  The  VolCut  insert holder  is  stocked for quick delivery   with bore  diameters ranging from 2.559” – 128.149” (65mm – 3255mm). Its unique design  incorporates  serrations  designated to  connect seamlessly with   Wohlhaupter’s  Twin Cutter and  AluLine  boring systems .   

Manufacturers pre-machining large diameter holes in components for the oil and gas and heavy equipment industries can reduce cycle times with  VolCut’s  high cutting speed and material removal up to 2.755” (70.00mm).  The company reports case studies show cycle time reductions up to 80% when compared to similar circular milling applications.  The indexable inserts utilized by  VolCut  shorten process times even further by allowing the tool to remain engaged in the spindle while worn cutting edges are changed out . Allied Machine and Engineering stocks the indexable inserts as standard items ensuring quick replenishment.   

Natalie Wise,  USA  p roduct manager  of the  Wohlhaupter  boring line , states, “ The  VolCut  insert holders provide a rough boring solution unmatched by other rough boring competitors. The ability to utilize the  Vol C ut  insert holders with your existing standard  Wohlhaupter  modular tooling provides the additional range  needed  to vastly improve your rough machining  operations . ”  

The  VolCut  insert holders  and indexable inserts  are  available to order from  Allied Machine  and Engineering’s  distributor partners.  For more information  or to request a free  demonstration  visit   www.alliedmachine.com/contact/field-support   or call 1 (330) 343-4283  to be connected with field support  in your area .
