ZX Valve Seat Pocket Tools
Specially adapted ZX Modular boring tools feature piloted cutter support for use in machining seat pocket areas in oil valves and other extended reach applications. Valve seat pocket machining involves boring with severe interruptions. Internal chamfers, tapers, and faces are also common, as are long reaches through relatively small bores.
ZX Valve Seat Pocket tools have enough stroke and strength to rough-machine pre-clad seat pocket cavities and, using the same tool, to finish-machine the pocket in inconel after cladding. Non-clad pockets can also be machined. Seat Pocket Tools are commonly used in carbon steel, stainless steel, and inconel.
