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.
Compared to taps, the SOLIDTHREAD is more accurate, thread machining is substantially faster and G there is no danger of a broken tap being stuck in the hole.
