Economical Precision Boring Systems
(800) 854-7441

Criterion’s Exclusive Precision Boring System Produces Precision Bores UP TO 10 TIMES Faster Than Conventional Boring Heads. AND it increases Precision!

Conventional boring heads’ operating speeds are often limited by imbalance. The revolutionary new CBER boring machine tool system operates at speeds as fast as 10,000 RPM– without requiring any special balancing.

A standard boring head operating at 1,000 RPM, with a .004” per revolution feed rate, will produce a 1” deep hole in 15.0 seconds. The CBER boring system, operating at 10,000 RPM with the same .004” feed rate, will produce the hole in 1.5 seconds.

If your shop rate is $125/hr, the CBER boring system will pay for itself in as little as 800 holes.

Because the CBER boring machine tool system fits into standard ER collet holders, precision boring can now be done where it was previously impossible.

The CBER system can be used in live tooling stations, eliminating the need for secondary operations. As a result, costly live tooling set-up time is eliminated. The CBER system installed in a right angle head allows you to produce horizontal precision bores with a vertical machining center.

   Criterion’s Exclusive Precision Boring Systems are the Economical Solution to Precision Boring

CBER boring system

With the introduction of Criterion’s revolutionary CBER Boring System, manufacturers are now able to eliminate the need for special holders for precision boring heads. To convert a standard ER boring tool collet holder into a precision boring system, you simply:
1. Insert the CBER boring head into your existing ER holder, and 2. Change the collet nut. It’s that easy!

Criterion’s CBER boring system:

o Eliminates the need to purchase new boring tool holders
o Gives the flexibility to easily move the boring head from machine to machine
o Accommodates live tool, right angle head, and bench top mill applications where precision 
   boring could not be done in the past

Payback time on the CBER boring system is almost as fast as its operating capabilities. Download complete CBER Boring System information in PDF format


Large Diameter Precision Boring at a Fraction of the Cost

Criterion’s large diameter boring machine tool system increased the production of a Wisconsin manufacturer from one part per hour to fourteen parts per hour. This production increase reduced the boring machining cost to 7% of what it had been. Criterion’s modular boring system paid for itself in 1 week.

The LCB1.5 modular boring system is designed around Criterion’s standard 1-1/2” diameter Cri-Bore modular boring head, a series of extender bars and tool holder. The use of counterweights allows the system to operate at the recommend SFPM for the carbide inserts. Doing this extends the carbide life—as well as decreases the production times required for carbide boring.

The LCB1.5 boring heads can also be positioned so they turn a boss on a part–eliminating the need for additional set-ups on other machines.

Criterion’s boring heads cover the largest boring range in the boring machine tools market– reducing the cost of your production tools. They also use industry standard inserts, allowing you to take advantage of all the new innovative technology as it is introduced in the market place.
o Criterion’s CB-202B boring head covers a range from .050" to 6.687" in diameter.
o Cri-Bore Modular Boring Systems cover a range from 1.050" to 7.380" in diameter, with 6 boring heads.
o Standard ANSI/ISO inserts are used in all of Criterion’s boring machine tools’ designs, keeping insert costs to a minimum.

Our Micro-Adjusting Boring Heads eliminate the need to go back to a presetter to readjust your boring head on those close tolerance bores. Fifty-millionths (0.000050") on diameter adjustability is just what you need for those difficult requirements.
o The micro adjusting dial does not require locking or unlocking to make an adjustment because of its unique design.
o The system lets you easily make adjustments as your cutting edge wears– without removing
   the boring head.
o The micro adjustment has a total range of .006" on diameter.

Criterion’s Exclusive Precision Boring Systems have revolutionized the boring machine tools industry. We have many other boring tools. Please visit the rest of our website, or call us today at
