Family Overview
This family consists of specially designed versions of our standard solid carbide thread mills (both standard & miniature), that were created in order to enable machining of hardened materials (up to 62 HRC). In order to achieve this, we’ve applied cutting-edge coatings that provide the tools with high wear & heat resistance.
Features:
- High performance aided by the innovative coatings
- Excellent surface finish
Recommended for materials:
- Hardened steels, and cast iron (up to 62 HRC)
- High-temperature alloys
- Titanium alloys
- Nickel-based superalloys (Hastelloy®, Inconel®, etc.)
Our range of HARDCUT tools consists of the following lines:
MTSH – MINI THREAD MILLS FOR HARD MATERIALS
These miniature thread mills have been developed specifically for the purposes of machining hard materials. They can handle threads as small as ISO M1.4 x 0.3 and 0-80 UNF, making them perfect for such industries as Die & Mold. These tools are capable of working at high cutting speeds, which reduces the machining times.
Features:
- Tools available for the ISO, UN, G55°, MJ, and UNJ thread profiles
- Only internal threads supported by most mills (with the exception of G55° tools)
- Depending on the tool, the thread depth can be up to 2 or 3 x Thread Diameter
- Low cutting forces thanks to the short profile
- Upgraded PVD multi-layer coating (only for MJ and UNJ tools)
- Multi (3-4) flutes
Note:
- For left-hand jobs, use the M04 code in your G-Code programs
Carbide Grade(s):
FSH – MINI THREAD MILLS FOR HARD MATERIALS (WITH ADDITIONAL FLUTES)
An improvement over the popular MTSH product line, the FSH thread mills feature a large number of flutes (up to 7 flutes for some models). This helps them to successfully cope with machining exceptionally hard materials (up to 65 HRC). They can handle threads as small as ISO M2.5 x 0.45 and 4-40 UNC.
Features:
- Tools available for the ISO and UN thread profiles
- Only internal threads supported
- Multi (4-7) flutes
- Depending on the tool, the thread depth can be up to 2 or 3 x Thread Diameter
- Upgraded PVD multi-layer coating
Note:
- For left-hand jobs, use the M04 code in your G-Code programs
Carbide Grade(s):
MTH – SOLID CARBIDE THREAD MILLS FOR HARD MATERIALS
A product line of solid carbide thread mills optimized for hard materials – such as hardened steels, and various alloys. A distinctive feature of these thread mills is that they are capable of performing chamfering in addition to the thread milling, which saves time by eliminating tool changes.
Features:
- Tools available for the ISO and UN thread profiles
- Only internal threads supported
- Increased cutting diameter; Results in more rigidity and stability
- The thread depth can be up to 2 x Thread Diameter
- Shorter chips produced, ensuring process security
- Multi (3-4) flutes
