Ricon Tools
Engineered for maximum rigidity, high metal-removal rates, and optimized chip evacuation under continuous loads.
Chile stands as a global powerhouse in mining, marine transport, forestry, and heavy industrial machinery fabrication. With massive extraction sites dotting areas like Antofagasta, Calama, and O'Higgins, industrial maintenance operations require heavy metalworking tools that can perform under extremely abrasive and demanding environmental conditions.
To repair and refurbish mining dump truck steering knuckles, large planetary gearboxes, heavy hydraulic cylinder tubes, and marine shipboard components, precision machining shops ("maestranzas") rely heavily on robust rough boring solutions. A single millimeter of deviation or unexpected tool vibration can cause tooling failure, scrap expensive workpieces, and halt multi-million dollar copper mining output.
Information Gain Trend: Chilean machining operations are increasingly moving away from high-maintenance single-point boring lines toward double-edge roughing systems with serrated blocks. This transition offers a structural increase in Metal Removal Rate (MRR) of up to 200%, protecting mechanical spindles from micro-cracking and premature wear.
Common operational failures faced by Chilean repair shops when using low-cost tooling components:
Maximizing chip load capacity and structural rigidity through advanced physical metallurgy and machining kinematics.
Rough boring represents the most mechanically violent phase of inner diameter processing. Unlike finish boring, which relies on light, continuous contact to achieve exact geometric tolerances down to 0.001mm, rough boring is defined by deep cuts, interrupted surfaces, and uneven casting scale. Under such conditions, a boring head must function as a rigid extension of the machine tool spindle.
The core technology behind our high-performance rough boring heads is the dual-serrated guide block. Each side block features precision-ground interlocking serrated teeth that clamp tightly onto the main tool holder body. This design ensures that the radial force exerted during cutting is distributed evenly across the locking interface, preventing shifting or slipping even when facing heavy cuts exceeding 10mm in depth.
A dual-edge rough boring head offers two cutting options based on specific machining requirements:
| Boring Head Model | Standard Range (mm) | Insert Standard | Coolant Feed Type | Compatible Shanks | Best Application (Chilean Site) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RBH-50 | 50 - 70 mm | CCMT09 / WCMT05 | Through-Spindle Radial | BT40 / CAT50 / HSK63A | Heavy Earthmover Arm Hinges |
| LBK-80 | 80 - 110 mm | CCMT12 / SCGT12 | Dual-Coolant Internal | BT50 / CAT50 / LBK8 Connection | Marine Hydraulic Cylinder Tubes |
| CTD-WRH-200 | 200 - 320 mm | CNMG12 / WNMG08 | Spindle Core Through | BT50 Flanged / ISO 50 | Mining Dump Truck Wheel Hubs |
Engineered for high metal-removal rates and compatibility with international toolholders.
How Shandong Ricon Tools aligns with international quality standards to deliver direct-import efficiency.
Modern global standards require tools that operate at high cutting speeds with minimal vibration. Our rough boring heads utilize specialized internal anti-vibration damping structures, allowing high-depth processing at deep bore lengths without surface finish degradation.
We source ultra-dense structural alloy steels (42CrMo) treated with high-temperature gas nitriding. This creates a highly wear-resistant surface shell that protects the internal boring bars from mechanical erosion caused by hot steel chips.
We offer specialized tool design based on direct engineering blueprints (DWG, STEP). If you operate a mechanical repair center in Santiago or Concepción, we can design custom-shank rough boring tools tailored to your legacy machinery.
How industrial operators across Chile solve machining bottlenecks using Ricon’s heavy-duty tooling solutions.
Location: Antofagasta Region, Chile
Machining structural cast iron and abrasive welded overlays on massive haul shovel pivot arms requires tools that resist heavy impact forces. Using our LBK Serrated Dual-Edge Boring Head, a local machine shop reduced their machining cycle times by 45% while extending tool insert lifespan by 3x.
Location: Santiago Metropolitan Area, Chile
Standard boring bars struggle with chip evacuation when processing deep hydraulic cylinder tubes (ratios of L/D > 5). Utilizing the Ricon CTD-WRH series boring head with internal through-coolant channels enabled effective chip flushing, preventing work hardening and maintaining critical straightness along the bore.

Technical answers to help Chilean machine shop foremen and purchasing managers choose the right tooling systems.
Dual-edge rough boring heads balance the cutting forces by distributing the load across two opposing inserts. This design reduces radial deflection, allows for a doubled feed rate (under balanced configurations), and enables step cutting for deeper material removal on lower horsepower CNC machines. In contrast, single-point tools are prone to deflection and vibration when subjected to heavy cut depths.
For abrasive cast steel commonly found in mining environments, we recommend heavy-duty, double-sided CVD coated carbide inserts such as CNMG or WNMG with an ISO P25 to P35 tough grade core. These inserts are designed to resist mechanical shocking and abrasive wear from silicate and copper ore dust particles.
