175 years Johs. Boss

In 1849, our company founder Johannes Boss laid the foundations for his precision engineering workshop - at that time with a focus on precision scales. Over the years, pill machines and other precision instruments for pharmacists were added...

The success story of the JBO Thread Milling Cutter SHARK

The Shark thread milling cutter series proves itself in customer use.

Three 25-year anniversaries

From left to right, Mr Sascha Haase, Mr Frank Metzger and Mr Sükrü Diri were honoured at Johs. Boss for 25 years of service to the company.

Introductory offer

With the Shark, we are launching a thread milling tool that clearly surpasses conventional tool concepts in terms of productivity and tool life. The multi-tooth milling cutter is available in three versions for a wide range of materials.

Order now at the promotional price on condition that you send us your test results.

The consequences of massive price increases on the raw material markets and the significant rise in personnel costs, as well as the costs of auxiliary and operating materials, make a further adjustment of our sales prices unavoidable.

Welcome hearty

JBO team welcome theirs trainees hearty! On their first day they have visited together the OPENING at the IHK in Reutlingen.

You are cordially invited
AMB 2022, September 13th – 17th, Hall 1, Booth E70

We cordially invite you to visit us at this year's AMB in Stuttgart at our booth E70 in hall 1. The international exhibition for metalworking presents itself from 13th – 17th September 2022. Take the opportunity and inform yourself personally about our products.

PKD-PF REVOLUTION Face Milling Cutter

We proudly present the world's first in the field of machining with PCD cutting edges. The REVOLUTION face milling cutter is the first tool to get the hang of it. The cutting edges of the REVOLUTION are not bonded to the carrier. No solder or adhesive is used. Therefore, no energy is required to heat the carrier for soldering or to cure the adhesive.

The new JBO catalogue 2022 with prices valid from 01.03.2022 is now online

Our new JBO catalogue 2022 is now available as a flip page catalogue with new prices on our homepage.

JBO is now an accredited testing laboratory for thread gauges

Since 01.12.2021 JBO is a calibration laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 which is accredited by DAkkS for the calibration of thread gauges, cyl. thread Ø 3 - 100 mm, pitch 0,5 - 6 mm, Option 1.

JBO total price list as of 01 March 2022

Behind us lies a year that has challenged us all. All the more intensively we have worked on the expansion of our product range. Our new JBO catalogue will be available in spring as a flip catalogue with prices on our homepage and as a printed catalogue without prices for the first time.

Cycle time reduction in the production of internal threads in hardened materials using a solid carbide circular tapping cutter BGFS from JBO
Efficiency through innovation

A central further development at JBO is the circular bore thread milling cutter. It was specially designed for machining in die and mould making, among other things for machining hardened and tempered steel materials with a hardness >=54 to 66 HRC.

Reduction of measuring and testing times for threads in dental implants through the use of an automatic screw nut gauge
Efficiency through innovation

Especially in the field of rational thread testing of dental implants, JBO can come up trumps with innovations.
The automatic screw nut gauge has been specially developed for rational testing of the thread gauge accuracy and measurement of the thread depth of small components such as dental implants.

Cost saving by using the programming software JBOtronic for easy creation of NC codes when using thread milling cutters
Efficiency through innovation

To make the process of working with thread milling cutters as simple as possible for our existing and future customers, we have developed the Software tool JBOtronic.

Thread gauging by using a eMulticheck with electronically controlled drive

Efficiency through innovation

Our Multicheck programme combines the testing of gauge accuracy and the measurement of thread depths in only one measuring device. The testing is initiated automatically via a short press of a button.

Cost savings through the use of a PCD combination tool

Efficiency through innovation

The internal thread for an oil filter connection is usually designed as a saw thread. The advantages of this thread are, on the one hand, the large pitch for quick screwing in, a self-locking mechanism to prevent unintentional unscrewing, and a certain insensitivity to dirt compared to other threads.

JBO in winter fairy tale

Linear and rotary units as modern automation components

Efficiency through innovation

JBO looks back on more than 30 years of experience in the development and construction of linear and rotary units, which can be used and combined in many different ways.
They can be used for complex automation systems as well as simple manual workstations.

Cost savings by using a die in combination with a knurl

The internal threads of a fitting are usually parallel threads, whereas the external threads are mainly conical. As a rule, this combination is self-sealing (metallic sealing threads). For various reasons, however, sealing tape or hemp is also used.
