SNAP: Front & Back Chamfering

SNAP: The Simplest Solution for Front & Back Chamfering

The HEULE SNAP tool is a proven, high-performance solution for automated front and back chamfering of through-holes in a single pass.

Designed for CNC machining environments, SNAP eliminates the need to stop or reverse the spindle — saving valuable cycle time while ensuring perfectly consistent chamfers.

Built for high-volume production, SNAP combines Swiss precision with long-lasting carbide blades, delivering reliable performance and reduced labor costs across industries including automotive, energy, heavy equipment, and medical manufacturing.

Key Features and Benefits

Single-Pass Chamfering — Front and back edges are finished in one motion without stopping the spindle or rotating the workpiece.

• Exceptional Efficiency — Dramatically reduces cycle times, tool handling, and machine downtime.
• Precision and Consistency — Patented blade geometry ensures burr-free, repeatable chamfers across high-volume runs.
• Durable Construction — Coated carbide blades deliver long tool life and consistent results even in challenging materials.
• Fast Blade Change — The quick-change design simplifies maintenance, minimizing setup time between runs.
• Flexible Range — Standard bore sizes from Ø2 mm to Ø25 mm, with custom solutions available for larger diameters.

How SNAP Works

1. The tool enters the bore and forms the front chamfer.
2. As it passes through the hole, the blade retracts automatically — protecting the bore surface.
3. When the back side is reached, the blade extends to create the back chamfer.
4. SNAP exits the bore immediately, ready for the next cycle — no stop, reversal, or manual adjustment required.

This fully automated process allows for consistent, repeatable chamfers while improving tool life and operator safety.

Typical Applications

SNAP excels in any environment where precision and efficiency are critical:

• Automotive components and transmission parts
• Aerospace housings and precision bores
• Hydraulic and pneumatic manifolds
• Energy and heavy-equipment castings
• Medical and small-part manufacturing
