VARGUS Ltd., a world-leading manufacturer of high-quality thread cutting, grooving and deburring tools for the metals and plastics industries, is proud to present its extended range of TMSD thread milling solutions for deep holes. New tooling solutions from TMSD include TMSD Vertical for small diameter applications and TMSD inserts for American Buttress (ABUT). The new TMSD tools complement the existing TMSD line, providing multi-flute, high productivity and economical solutions for deep-hole thread milling.
This newest addition to the TMSD family, TMSD Vertical provides a new range of 3-flute thread milling tools that ensure faster and more efficient machining of applications with smaller tool cutting diameters and a minimum thread size of M11.5x0.5 (1/2-28UNEF).
TMSD Vertical inserts feature a single point design and reinforced cutting corner for reduced load on the cutting edges and greatly improved rigidity. Inserts are available in three sizes (7V, 9V, 11V) in VBX and VTX grades for the following profile styles: Partial Profile 60°, Partial Profile 55°, Trapez and Stub ACME.
Toolholders for TMSD Vertical line are available in Weldon Steel Shank and Carbide Cylindrical Shank styles for a tool cutting diameter range of 10.5 to 20.8mm and a tool overhang range of 25 to 65mm. Both TMSD toolholder styles feature through-tool cooling for improved chip evacuation and cooling at the cutting corner - essential for deep-hole applications.
The TMSD line is also now offering TMSD inserts for ABUT as standard stock items that can be ordered from the TMSD catalog. TMSD inserts for ABUT are designed to machine small to large pitch applications, from 16 to 2.5 tpi. TMSD toolholders also have a special design that provides unique support for the non-symmetrical shape of ABUT style inserts.
TMSD inserts for ABUT are available in three styles (5.0L, 3/8”L, 5/8”V) in VBX and VTX grades. TMSD toolholders for ABUT are available in Weldon Steel Shank, Carbide Cylindrical Shank and Shell Mill styles.
