New MMT threading series
The MMT series, a comprehensive range of inserts and tools for threading from Mitsubishi Materials has been expanded to include a new 3-D chipbreaker and a new versatile PVD coated grade. In total there are 88 new items now available. The MMT range covers a huge range of tooling for efficient and precise machining of a multitude of internal and external thread types from, standard metric and popular imperial threads such as Whitworth and UNC
geometries through to thread forms such as ACME. The main feature and
advantage of the MMT series is to maintain chip
control during the latter half of passes when continuous chips are formed and typically cause problems such as chip wrapping and poor surface finishes. www.mmc-hardmetal.com
