Port Contour Cutters  
A Full Range of Porting Tools for SAE, ISO, BSPP/BSPF & NASA Specifications

• SAE J1926, MS 16142
• ISO 6149-1 (metric)
• MS 33649, NASA MC 240
• HSS, TCT and indexable
• Pipe tap cutters
• Double feed indexable porting tools
• Port contour cutter application information 

METCUT Port Contour Cutters produce the form and finish required on internal straight thread o-ring ports in a single operation. Straight thread ports usually are required for high-pressure hydraulic fittings, which must be in compliance with automotive, military, aerospace and commercial specifications.

METCUT porting tools are form-relief ground and designed so that a simple face grinding reconditions the tool with no dimensional loss.

METCUT produces the most complete line of Port Contour Cutters in the industry. High speed steel and carbide tipped are standard in all sizes. Straight, morse taper and radial drive shank styles are available on all size tools. Indexable porting tools are available for meeting SAE and military specifications.

Metcut Indexable Drills 

Reamers 
 
Higher Feed Rates, Longer Tool Life

• Roundness accuracy to within 0.0001".
• Hole size accuracy to within 0.0003".
• Straightness accuracy to within 0.0002".
• Higher depth-to-diameter ratios at above tolerances.
• Technical assistance available to achieve 16RMS or better, and consistently hold hole size to less than .0003"
• Custom sharpened reamers
• Coolant feed & chucking reamers
• Floating holders: tool stationary & tool rotating
• Quick ship available

METCUT® reamers are designed to operate at feed rates up to twice conventional reamer feed rates, resulting in higher productivity. And METCUT® reamers last longer, which means less machine downtime due to tool changes, and more production per tool. The net result is that METCUT® reamers provide the lowest cost per hole.

Surface Finishes of 25 RMS or Better

The use of METCUT® reamers can eliminate the need for some subsequent grinding, honing or burnishing operations by producing surface finishes of 25 RMS or better in free-machining materials. Hole-finishing accuracy and repeatability are unmatched.

Deepest Drilling – Lowest Cost Per Hole

A leader and innovator in indexable drill technology, METCUT® developed and marketed the world’s first truly functional indexable drills, and is still the only manufacturer of high performance, negative rake drills.

• Positive and negative rake drills
• Metric sizes
• Up to 7.0 x diameter drilling depth
• Square & trochoid inserts
• Double feed drills

METCUT’s helical flute design provides greater stability for deeper drilling, and larger flute openings for improved chip evacuation. Trochoid-shaped inserts have three cutting edges with superior edge strength compared to other positive rake insert designs. Positive rake drills require less horsepower than negative rake drills. They can, therefore, be used on a wider range of machine tools. Also, positive rake drills provide better chip control when drilling in some materials such as high temperature alloys.

Negative Rake Drills

In applications where horsepower limitations and chip control are not problems, negative rake drills can offer significant cost savings. The square, titanium-coated carbide inserts have eight cutting edges, and the negative rake cutting edges are inherently stronger. Negative rake drills produce more holes per cutting edge and allow drilling at higher feed rates.

Double Feed Drills 

METCUT® double feed drills can help you decrease machining time and cut production costs. These revolutionary two effective-flute drills can help decrease machining time and cut production costs by allowing a feed rate that is double that of a conventional indexable drill. This line of indexable drills is the only one in the industry that offers 3:1, 5:1 and 7:1 depth to diameter ratios. This drill can be used to core holes and drill through stacked materials.

Efficient, Economical Drilling Tools

Back Spotfacers 

A Complete Line of Back Spotfacing and Back Counterboring Tools

• Balanced drive back spotfacers
• Balanced drive back counterbores
• Ball pin drive back spotfacers
• Straight shank and taper shank pilots

Back Spotfacing tools are used primarily for spotfacing or counterboring hard-to-reach inside surfaces that cannot be machined by conventional methods. The cutter is engaged to the driving bar by a simple, quarter-turn hand operation, with no need for washers, lock screws or tooling.

METCUT back spotfacer pilots fit both back spotfacers and back counterbores, and are furnished with morse taper or straight shanks. All pilots are stocked in a complete range of standard sizes.

• Square drive core drills 
  
• Straight and taper shank holders 
  
• Spot and chamfer drills

METCUT two-piece core drills are more economical than solid core drills because the holder is used repeatedly— only the cutter end needs to be replaced. The drive features a square drive end on a short taper shank. The square eliminates all possibility of tang breakage or corner rounding.

METCUT short holders without flutes are available in morse taper or straight shanks. These holders are used where it is not necessary to guide-in a bushing.

METCUT spot and chamfer drills are available in a variety of sizes and two cutting angles.

METCUT two-piece core drill holders are available in long or medium flute lengths with spiral flutes for effective chip disposal.
