Thread mill tooling avoids titanium problems
Thread milling tooling is not only enabling a sub-contract machinist of orthopaedic components to avoid in situ broken tools and machine titanium parts in a single set-up 'with total confidence'.
With Vardex MiTM, multiple flute holders allow significant increases in feed rates coincident with an increase in the number of cutting edges (two per insert), while the use of MiTM's longer than usual inserts (25mm) enables a reduction in the number of machining passes, especially when producing long threads.
The result, says Vargus Tooling, is not only reduced cycle times but also overall reductions in tool costs and improved product quality.
With holders available in diameters from 28mm down to 17mm, and with two, three, four or five flutes, MiTM utilises single or multiple coated inserts for either stainless steel or general machining applications.
The inserts are supplied with varying numbers of teeth in a variety of pitches.
MiTM is one of a number of world-leading Vardex threading solutions from Vargus Tooling UK, the Telford-based service orientated distributor of quality tooling for turning, milling, drilling, threading and grooving applications, as well as spindle nose tooling and hand deburring tools.
