Sumitomo's New X-Bar Boring Bars Feature a Dampening Mechanism to Eliminate Vibrations
Mount Prospect, IL - (October 5, 2005) Sumitomo Electric introduces the revolutionary Anti Vibration X-Bar, for deep-hole boring. The X-Bar features a special dampening mechanism that eliminates chatter, resulting in extremely fine finishes and extra long tool life.
