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 shell and end mills can be used at high feed rates and utilise 25mm long inserts that reduce the number of required machining passes.
The tooling is available in diameters from 17mm up to 52mm, and with up to eight flutes.
These shell and end mills have through-coolant and high rigidity for consistent thread production, said Vargus.
Like their thread milling counterparts, the new shell and end mills not only reduce cycle times but will also generate overall savings in tool costs and improved product quality.
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.
Located in Telford, the company distributes quality tooling for turning, milling, drilling, threading and grooving applications, as well as spindle nose tooling and hand deburring tools.
