Very happy with the purchase. I now have 16 of these. They work great.
The Octane t slot chip guard is great, very heat and chip resistant, and a great addition to any mill. Highly recommend it.

The self-tuning mass damper is how MAQ stands out
In internal turning processes, tool holders are often used with long overhangs. The cutting process will become unstable due to vibration, usually in the form of forced vibrations in machining and regenerative tool chatter. That is often solved by trying to stabilize the process with a lower cutting speed, reduced depth of cut, or increased feed per revolution.
The problem with these actions is that you either reduce production speed or that the surface finish is affected negatively. Usually, it means higher production costs as well. Vibration damping machine tools are necessary to expand the stable working zones of a metal cutting process.
MAQ tools are designed to adapt dynamically to these challenges. The patented STMD™️ (SelfTuning Mass Dampener) technology uses innovative polymer spring elements that adjust their
stiffness in real-time to match changing vibration frequencies. This unique self-tuning property
ensures consistent performance, even under fluctuating machining conditions.

The videos you see online of these bars are the real thing. I've had the same experience in my shop. Just today we machined some parts with a bore 5.5" deep. We used a 3/4" boring bar with a 5.75 stickout. Didn't even change the finishing feeds and speeds from what we would normally run. Roughed and finished with the same bar. It actually broke a chip too! We're willing to do parts that we would have avoided before.

After seeing a post on instagram from Derek I decided to order some MAQ bars. I have been using them on a long reach application cutting 8620 steel and 316 stainless. 6xD on stainless with a 3/4 bar and it cut so quiet I was amazed! It takes the guess work out of boring they just work.
Thank you for sharing! The part looks great and we're happy MAQ tools performed as well as promised.
