Allied Machine Cartridges Mount to Custom Boring Tools
ES-Bore cartridges fit on existing custom tool bodies and replace current lay-down cartridges.

Allied Machine and Engineering’s new series of Wohlhaupter fine-boring lay-down cartridges — ES-Bore (Easy Set Bore) — are designed to be easily mounted onto the body of a custom tool. The cartridge dimensions enable it to fit on existing bodies and replace current lay-down cartridges, in addition to providing 3ETECH+ functionality.
When used with standard Wohlhaupter components, the lay-down cartridges have a diameter range of 1.1" – 128" (28 mm – 3200 mm); however, a maximum boring range cannot be defined for custom boring tools as the range is unlimited and depends on the application. Currently, the cartridges are available for two different insert sizes — the ISO form 101 as well as Wohlhaupter’s form 20 insert — and can be used in all common materials.
For users looking to build their own custom tool, the ES-Bore is offered in an analog or digital version for use with the new 3ETECH+ digital readout module. The new 3ETECH+ digital module provides enhancements such as improved visibility with a larger OLED display screen, improved diameter adjustment accuracy of one micron and a rechargeable battery via USB-C.
