The ARX automatic recessing head cuts external grooves and recesses with consistent accuracy. Because the head converts axial spindle movement into radial cutting action, the tool can be used on a drill press or on CNC machines, milling machines or turret lathes.
The standard head is fitted with a pilot and cutter designed to suit the application. The head pilots off the workpiece. A micrometer stop controls depth of cut, and tool adjustment is controlled within the fitting tooling. Through-tool coolant and overtravel shanks are standard.
