SEC-Threading Tools SSTE Type / SSTI Type ■ Characteristics ・ Major line up of inserts with a wiper edge for high machining accuracy Can handle a wide variety of machinery from general production machinery and pipes to aerospace instruments. ・ Stable chip control utilizing a 3D mold chipbreaker ・ Increased cutting performance through the polishing of the cutting edge flank for high quality thread machining. The polished flank faces around the cutting edge enable high quality threading ■ Series Table Wiper edge External/ Pitch Insert Cat.
