F Series

Speed – All FA boring bars have the same high performance AC servo motor. Independent feed control allows you to change the feed rate from .001″ (.025mm) to .012″ (.3mm) per revolution.

Accuracy – The FA series boring bar uses a precision ground ball screw to control feed rate and cutter position. This allows the machines to repeat cutter position accuracy to .0002″ (.005mm).

Strength – The Rottler proven spindle and bearing design gives you a rigid machine capable of making heavy sleeve cuts for a lifetime. The F9A spindle has been reduced to allow the machining of compact engines such as motorcycles, marine blocks and others.

Flexibility – With variable feed rates you are able to maximize the performance of the machine. Increase spindle feed rates for simple oversize bores. Decrease feed rates for sleeve cuts or counter bores. The F9A machines can bore from 1.5″ (38mm) to 5″ (127mm). Special carbide tools are available for counterboring, chamfer cutting, offset boring, and O-ringing.

Reliability – The F Series machines use a high-speed, cogged belt drive system. This and the use of two independent motors to run the spindle speed and feed, entirely eliminates the gear box.

Cost Savings – The high speed Rottler FA boring bar series machine can bore a block in half the time that other boring machines require. New insert technology is producing long lasting, inexpensive inserts which are capable of handling these high speed and feed rates, with the same cost per insert as previous styles. Inserts do not require sharpening and the low cost of these tools makes them the ultimate choice for boring cylinders.

Strength – The Rottler proven spindle and bearing design gives you a rigid machine capable of making heavy sleeve cuts for a lifetime. The F10A has increased spindle size to ensure the best possible bore geometry at high spindle speeds.

Flexibility – With variable feed rates you are able to maximize the performance of the machine. Increase spindle feed rates for simple oversize bores. Decrease feed rates for sleeve cuts or counter bores. The F10A machines can bore from 1.5″ (38mm) to 9″ (230mm).

The same automatic functionality built into Rottler’s advanced valve seat and guide and cylinder honing machines is also available in the F10X. You can bore and sleeve a complete line of cylinders – automatically. Perfect for performance race engine builders, remanufacturing operations, small engine builders and tractor pullers!

Rottler’s Point and Shoot Software includes quick programming for Cylinder Boring, Surfacing, Blind Hole Boring, Chamfering, and O-Ringing. Operations can be programmed in less than 15 minutes allowing quick setup for set and forget machining. No matter your business, the F10XS can add automation to help free up valuable operator time and allow for higher productivity in your business!

Speed – The F10XS models use high performance AC servo motors for fast and reliable cutting performance. Spindle RPM ranges from 100 -1200 RPM and Feedrate is infinitely variable in .0001″ increments.

Accuracy – The F10XS series uses a precision ground ball screws on the Horizontal and Vertical axes to control feed rate and cutter position. All machines are tested and certified to produce less than .001″ total indicated runout on cylinder bores at a .040″ or less cut on diameter.

Strength – The Rottler proven spindle and bearing design gives you a rigid machine capable of making heavy sleeve cuts for a lifetime. Sleeving operations can be performed in one or 2 passes on sleeves up too .200″ in total oversize thickness.

Flexibility – With optional equipment the F10XS can perform the work of 2 machines in one package. Save floor space with a compact and capable machine which can switch from Boring to Surfacing Operations in less than 1 Minute and Switch from Fixturing Cylinder Blocks to Cylinder Heads in less 15 minutes.

Reliability – The F10XS is designed and developed from over 50 years of innovation in this platform. This makes the machine a piece of equipment that can be trusted to run for decades just like the original F2B which has many operational examples currently still working!

Return on Investment – The F10XS saves space by combining 2 machines into 1 platform. Eliminating the need to move blocks between machines saves times and improves accuracy. One Operator can bore and surface a V8 block in 30 minutes. Automation allows the same operator to perform other work while the cutting process is occurring. In a work-cell floorplan a F10XS when paired with a CNC honing machine can allow one operator to produce a fully machined V8 block (Bore, Surface, Hone) in 1 hour or less!
