The unique insert shape improves surface finish, hole diameter, and hole straightness by providing a superior balanced cut compared to ISO inserts. The drills will be stocked in both imperial and metric shanks with stan- dard fractional diameters, as well as every ½mm diameter up to 26mm and every 1mm up to 47mm. New MTSB Mini Mill- Thread —Carmex Designed for applications involv- ing small and deep threads, Car- mex’s new MTSB mini mill-thread is equipped with coolant bores that facilitate chip removal through the use of high pressure coolant. Constructed of solid carbide with advanced PVD triple coating, the MTS works at high machining parameters for increased productivity. An increased number of flutes shorten cycle times and, com- bined with coolant, improve tool life. Although designed specifically for deep thread milling operations, the MTSB can be used on anyoperation requiring betterperformance and high thread quality. Thread sizes range from M1.2 to M16 and0-80 to 7/16-20UNF.
