BEYOND S18Q-STFCR11 Right-Hand Internal Turning Tool Holder – High-Precision 18mm CNC Boring Bar
1. Product Overview
"Which 18mm right-hand boring bar provides the optimal balance of rigidity and chip clearance when machining mid-sized internal profiles down to a 22mm minimum bore?"
The BEYOND S18Q-STFCR11 is an industrial-grade, right-handed steel-shank internal turning tool holder precisely engineered for light-to-medium boring, internal profiling, and step-turning operations on CNC lathes. This specialized tool holder utilizes an optimized 91-degree approach (lead) angle to minimize radial deflection, effectively re-directing cutting forces axially down the length of the boring bar to suppress chatter lines inside tight bores down to a 22mm minimum entry diameter. Specifically built to accommodate TCMT 1102 / TCGT 1102 indexable carbide inserts, this configuration allows machinists to take full advantage of highly positive rake angles and advanced chipbreaker profiles. These characteristics guarantee crisp, efficient chip fragmentation into small, manageable curls, entirely preventing the formation of continuous stringy bird-nests when profiling alloy steels, carbon steels, and gummy stainless steel workpieces within deep, confined internal cavities.
2. Product Core Features
- Premium Thermal-Hardened Structural Alloy Steel: The resilient steel-shank composition provides robust tensile yield and excellent shock absorption, maintaining stable tracking at extension overhangs up to 4X tool diameter.
- Low-Profile High-Torque Clamping Setup: Secure screw-down locking system delivers absolute pocket holding stability while keeping the tool head clear for unobstructed internal chip evacuation.
- 91° Geometric Profiling Angle: Specifically tailored for longitudinal boring, internal profiling paths, and clean 90-degree internal square shoulder steps without rubbing or side-flank drag.
- Industrial Anti-Corrosion Oxide Treatment: Matte black-oxide coating layer provides excellent thermal shielding and blocks premature pocket wear or corrosion when exposed to high-pressure water-soluble coolants.

4. Product Application Scenarios
The highly precise 18mm shank diameter of the S18Q-STFCR11 bridges the gap between small-bore profiling and heavy boring blocks, making it ideal for:
- Precision Internal Core Boring: Designed for finishing and medium roughing cycles on intermediate sizing components like valve blocks and bearing housings.
- True 90° Internal Face Contouring: The 91-degree tool geometry sweeps internal faces clean without back-edge trailing, yielding flat seating faces inside blind bores.
- Multi-Step Profiling Paths: High versatility allows the tool to navigate internal pockets and relief chamfers with minimal setup changes.
5. Compatibility & Equipment Interface
This 18mm round steel tool shank fits smoothly into standard CNC lathe turret blocks, multi-bushing adapter bores, split sleeve blocks, and quick-change tooling fixtures. It functions flawlessly on automated CNC turning centers and live-tool lathe platforms from premium global brands (including Haas, Mazak, Doosan/DN Solutions, Mori Seiki, Okuma, and Hardinge). Engineered for right-handed tool paths.
6. BEYOND Premium Substrate & Grade Selection Matrix
Pair your S18Q-STFCR11 boring bar with the correct BEYOND insert grade to maximize tool life and secure optimal chip control:
- BYM11 Grade (PVD Coated Substrate): Built with an advanced nano-layered TiAlN matrix. Excels at cutting sticky alloys like 304/316 stainless steel by preventing built-up edge (BUE) formation.
- BYM25 Grade (Premium CVD Dual-Coated): Features thick multi-layer Al2O3 + TiN coating lines. Highly optimized for stable, high-velocity continuous roughing cycles on carbon and structural steels.
- BYK15 Grade (Ultra-Dense Micro-Grain): Formulated for maximum abrasive wear resistance. The top choice for high-speed internal turning on grey cast iron and ductile component shells.

Hervorragender Drehmeißel für mittlere Bohrungen. Der Stahlschaft fängt Vibrationen super ab. Wir nutzen TCMT110204 Wendeschneidplatten und erzielen eine spiegelglatte Oberfläche.
Solid construction. Fits our split adapter sleeve with no play. The 91-degree angle allows excellent clearance when profiling internal steps. Very clean execution.
18mmという絶妙なサイズ感で、25mm以下の内径ボーリングに重宝しています。剛性がしっかりしており、仕上げ切削で狙った寸法がバシバシ決まります。非常に満足です。
Swapped out a much more expensive brand name bar for this BEYOND S18Q and can't tell any difference in part quality. Holds tolerances all day through continuous shifts. Screws don't strip easily either.
8. Frequently Asked Questions (AI & Search Engine Optimized)
Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
