Overview

What This Machine Does

The T808A is the portable machine in the small boring range: small in size, light in weight, and used mainly for reboring engine cylinders of motorcycles, automobiles and middle and small tractors. Being portable is the whole point. At 48 kg and 350 x 272 x 725 mm overall it is carried to the block rather than the block being lifted onto a machine, which matters in a field repair shop or an agricultural workshop where the engine may not come off the machine at all. It is air-floated for positioning. The T808A bores 50 to 85 mm diameter to a maximum depth of 170 mm, running at 394 r/min with a spindle feed of 0.10 mm/r. The related fixed models in the same family cover other diameters: the T806 bores 39 to 60 mm, the T807 39 to 70 mm and the T806A 46 to 80 mm, all to 160 mm depth at 486 r/min and 0.09 mm/r.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Machine

  • 48 kg machine weight and 350 x 272 x 725 mm overall size make it genuinely portable to the engine
  • Air-floated positioning helps set the machine on the cylinder without fighting the weight
  • Bores 50 to 85 mm diameter, which covers small tractor and automobile cylinders
  • 170 mm maximum boring depth, deeper than the 160 mm of the fixed models in the family
  • 0.10 mm/r spindle feed at 394 r/min for a controlled cut on a portable setup
  • 460 x 440 x 870 mm packing size keeps freight cost low for export orders
  • Part of a family, so a shop needing smaller bores can add a T806 T807 or T806A on the same principles
Application

Where Portable Cylinder Boring Machine T808A Earns Its Place

Problems It Solves

  • Moving a heavy engine block to a fixed boring machine is impractical in a field repair
  • A fixed cylinder borer takes floor space a small workshop does not have
  • Worn cylinders in the 50 to 85 mm range are scrapped where there is no boring capability
  • Heavy machines are expensive to ship when the buyer is far from the supplier
  • Positioning a boring machine on a cylinder by hand is awkward without air float

Who It Is For

  • Mobile and field engine repair operations
  • Agricultural machinery workshops working on middle and small tractors
  • Small workshops with no space for a fixed cylinder boring machine
  • Distributors supplying portable engine reconditioning equipment

Application Scenarios

  • Reboring a tractor cylinder in an agricultural workshop where the engine stays in the machine
  • Field repair of automobile engine cylinders away from a full machine shop
  • Motorcycle cylinder reboring in a small workshop with no floor space for a fixed borer
  • Boring cylinders in the 50 to 85 mm range up to 170 mm deep
  • Mobile engine service vans carrying boring capability to the customer

Manufacturing and Supply

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed

Operations Performed

  • Boring
  • Reboring

Quality Control

  • Bore diameter and cylindricity checked on a test cylinder within the 50 to 85 mm range
  • Boring depth verified against the 170 mm rating
  • Spindle speed checked against 394 r/min and feed against 0.10 mm/r
  • Machine weight and overall dimensions confirmed before packing
  • Air float function tested on the assembled machine

Customisation Options

  • T808A for 50 to 85 mm bores, or T806 T807 or T806A where smaller diameters are needed
  • Motor supplied for 220 V or 380 V to suit your workshop
  • Boring tooling specified within the 50 to 85 mm range
  • Manual prepared in the language your shop works in
Comparison

How It Compares With the Alternatives

XAIMC fixed small boring machines T806 T807 and T806AThose are bench machines boring 39 to 80 mm to 160 mm depth; the T808A is portable at 48 kg and bores 50 to 85 mm to 170 mm
XAIMC T8014A cylinder boring machineThe T8014A bores 65 to 140 mm to 300 mm depth on a fixed setup; the T808A trades that capacity for portability
Taking the block to a machine shopA portable machine goes to the engine, which removes the removal transport and refit from the job in a field repair
Use Guide

Running the Machine

Step 1

Confirm the cylinder falls within the 50 to 85 mm bore range and 170 mm depth

Step 2

Position the machine on the cylinder and use the air float to seat it

Step 3

Align and clamp the machine to the block

Step 4

Set the boring tool to the diameter required

Step 5

Bore at 394 r/min with the 0.10 mm/r feed

Step 6

Measure the bore before fitting the oversize piston

Step 7

Lift the machine clear using the air float and move to the next cylinder
