Vardex Mega Line for Extra Large Pitches

Encompassing a pitch range of 10 to 24 mm (2-1 TPI), Vargus' new Mega Line tools feature an insert design with a new geometry that is specially designed for machining heavy-duty applications with extra large pitches. Formerly only available as special items, Mega Line tools are now available as standard items in a wide range of profiles from the Mega Line catalog.

"Mega Line tools provide significantly increased levels of stability and support during machining owing to the tailored support of the toolholder to each insert profile," said a company spokesperson. "In addition, Mega Line features a unique clamping system with an indented insert edge that is designed to withstand increased cutting forces during machining and prevent insert rotation."

Offered in Vargus' VKX tough submicron grade, Mega Line inserts are available in size IC 5/8" MG with one cutting edge for improved machining of large pitches. Mega Line standard inserts are now available for the following profiles: ISO, Round (DIN 20400), Trapez, ACME, Stub ACME, American Buttress (ABUT), Metric Buttress (Sge) and Specials.

The Mega Line toolholder range comprises external and internal styles in shank diameters of 25 mm (1.0"), 32 mm (1.25") and 40 mm (1.50") for external toolholders and 40 mm (1.50"), 50 mm (2.0") and 63 mm (2.5") for internal toolholders. The maximum tool overhang for internal toolholders is 150 mm (6").
