Performance and Benefits
- The back spot face tool is designed to automate the machining of counterbore countersinks and works without stops, reversing and any other machine aids.
- The oscillating insert retraction mechanism, combined with the principle of in-machine cooling pressure (min. 20 bar, max. 50 bar), ensures that inserts are not retracted due to swarf and dust.
- Available for both vertical and horizontal machines.
- Diameter 6.5mm-21mm is the standard product, with 0.5mm as a grade.
- Inserts cover a wide range of sizes and are made of tungsten carbide.
- The unique internal cooling chip removal design of the tool allows iron chips and dust to be removed from the insert window in a timely manner, which ensures the reliability of insert retraction.
Advanced of Safety Pin
- In case of excessive wear of the insert, it protects the workpiece, the toolholder and the machine by automatically separating the toolholder from the shank.
- It also protects the workpiece in case of program error and improper clamping of the workpiece.

Tool Working Principle
①
②
③
④
- Under coolant pressure, the piston pushes the control pin, which pushes the insert to begin retracting the insert.
- As the insert retracts into the cutter body, the pressure surface flips, and the control pin (which is still under constant pressure) continues to push the insert along the curved surface at the end of the insert until the insert is fully pushed into the cutter body.
- After the insert has been fully incorporated into the tool body by the control pin, the tool can be moved axially (Z-direction) through the workpiece overbore.
- The machine’s internal cooling is switched off, the spindle starts to rotate (at the recommended speed) and the inserts are unfolded to the working position. The internal cooling can reach the cutting edge of the insert through the cooling holes. When the counterbore countersinking is completed, the tool is returned to the machining start position. At this point, the machine’s internal cooling is turned on and the drive insert is again
retracts into the tool body again.
