MTECS B

Small Diameter, Short type

SolidThread MTECS is used for the production of small This unique tool design offers very precise profiles and

internal threads. These thread mills feature a high performance AH725 submicron carbide gradeAH725 C

a short 3-tooth cutting zone with 3 flutes and with PVD titanium aluminum nitride coating. a released neck between the cutting zone and The very short profile exerts a low force which minimizes the shank. tool bending. This facilitates parallel and high thread precision for the entire length.

Features

  • Minimum thread size of MTECS: M1x0.25 (0.75 mm pre hole diameter)

up to M20x2.50

  • 2xD and 3xD threading lengths K
  • High cutting speeds
  • Short cycle time
  • Low cutting forces due to the short contact profile

resulting in accurate and parallel thread

  • Prevents oval threads near thin walls
