NIKKEN Jig Boring Head (3–28 mm) with PEACOCK Dial Indicator — MT4 Taper + M14 Retainer
This NIKKEN JBD1 Jig Boring Head is a high‑precision Japanese‑made boring attachment designed for jig borers, milling machines, and toolroom setups requiring accurate hole sizing and micro‑adjustment capability. With a true boring diameter range of 3–28 mm, this head is ideal for fine boring, finishing, and precision hole enlargement.
The unit is fitted with an MT4 taper shank and includes an M14 retainer thread, allowing secure drawbar retention in machines that use threaded MT4 tooling. This combination provides excellent rigidity and alignment for precision boring operations.
Paired with a PEACOCK dial indicator, the setup offers clear, responsive feedback for fine adjustments, making it suitable for toolmaking, die work, mold machining, and precision engineering tasks where tight tolerances are required.
