The Erix Chamfering Tool

Chamfering is the process of beveling or rounding the edges of a workpiece or hole. This operation serves not only to enhance the aesthetics of the workpiece but also to eliminate sharp edges, which can pose safety concerns. 

Erix Tool AB has been making precision chamfering tools for 40 years, with a proven track record of excellent performance on a wide range of materials. 

Compact and efficient, the Erix chamfering tool is the ideal solution for chamfering in confined spaces, such as those found on engines, turbines, and pumps. These innovative tools consist of a spindle and a cutter, known as a wing. The unique patented design ensures reliable performance with only one moving part. 

What is Our Chamfering Tool Used For? 

Erix tools excel at back spotfacing and back chamfering, making them indispensable in various machining applications. They are the go-to choice for tasks involving spotfacing, chamfering, counterboring, and deburring. 

Materials The Tool Can Drill Into 

These versatile tools can handle a wide range of materials, making them suitable for diverse machining needs. Whether you’re working with magnetic soft steel, structural steel, alloy steel, or even thermoplastics and synthetic materials, Erix chamfering tools deliver exceptional results. 

Technical Specifications of Our Chamfering Tool 

Erix chamfering tools are engineered to precise standards to deliver the best results. The spindle’s pilot part guides the tool into the hole and takes up cutting forces, ensuring efficiency. The pilot diameter is carefully calibrated to the nominal hole diameter, offering superior performance. The wings are designed with high-speed steel (HSS) for smaller sizes and feature square or rectangular inserts for larger wings. These inserts are securely clamped using Secodex left-hand threaded screws. 

In addition to vast savings in terms of efficiency and productivity, as well as the obvious environmental benefits, automating the chamfering process ensures 100% consistency between the critical dimensions and significantly reduces the risk of mechanical failure or human error.

Common chamfering techniques 

Chamfering is often performed at angles of 45°, 60°, or 30°, depending on the material and application. Erix Tools also offers custom angles tailored to specific needs, allowing for greater flexibility in various machining tasks. 

 Typical problems and solutions 

Common chamfering issues include vibrations and poor surface finish. To solve these, adjusting feed rates and using proper coolant is essential, which helps prevent tool overheating and ensures better surface quality. 

 Chamfering applications across industries 

Chamfering is widely used in industries like manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace to smooth edges, improve part fitting, and prepare surfaces for welding or assembly.
