Solid Carbide Thread Mills Feature More Flutes
April 1, 2022
Designed for faster, more accurate thread milling in hard and heat-resistant materials, the FSH Solid Carbide Thread Mills from Carmex Precision Tools are constructed of a specially formulated carbide that is triple-coated and carry from five to seven flutes, depending on size.
The left-handed helix configuration results in a faster, smoother and more accurate cut due to reduced deflection. The FSH series, which extends from 0.45 mm to 1.25 mm pitch, can be used in conventional machining and Swiss-style applications.
Jim White, National Sales Manager for Carmex USA, said, "The FSH combines the latest in substrate and coatings with multiple flutes and the highly effective left-hand helix design to achieve better performance and longer tool life in today's hard-to-machine materials. Manufacturers who have previously attempted to use taps in small-hole threading understand that, especially in heat-resistant materials, breakage is a frequent occurrence. Given the value of the workpiece in terms of material and operations previously invested, this can result in very expensive scrappage. Carmex engineering developed the FSH to answer the challenges facing manufacturers and shops, especially in aerospace, medical parts and other cutting-edge industries."
