Indexable cutter cuts thread milling
cycle times
Multi-flute indexable thread milling cutter is designed to reduce cycle times on the generation of large threads through the use of long inserts and multiple flute holders.
Visitors to Vargus Tooling UK's MACH 2006 display will be able to gain details of how the new Vardex Multi-flute Indexable Thread Mill (MiTM) is designed to reduce cycle times on the generation of large threads through the use of long inserts and multiple flute holders 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

One tool thread mills and chamfers
Recent additions to a tooling range include a tool that thread mills and chamfers in one operation and a cutter that mills exact 90 deg shoulders and high surface finishes on aluminium components.
The result, says Vargus Tooling, is not only reduced cycle times but also overall reductions in tool costs and improved product quality.
With holders with cut diameters from 17mm to 30mm on a 25mm shank, 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.
