Introducing the TM Solid MultiFlute – Save Up to 40% in Machining Times

At EMO Hannover 2019 VARGUS Ltd. is pleased to introduce the addition of a new Thread Milling solid carbide tool, the TM Solid Multiflute, with increased number of flutes for faster machining.

The Multiflute Helicool tools represent the newest addition to the extensive Vardex line of high-quality solid carbide thread milling tools. Multiflute tools are designed with up to seven  flutes, thus enabling to work in faster cutting conditions. For better chip evacuation, machining with radial multiple passes is required.

Multiflute tools are offered in full profile threading standards – ISO Metric and American UN – with coolant thru and are suitable for a wide range of materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and more.

Tool Features

• Thread Lengths

2xDo and 3xDo (Thread Diameter)

• Thread Standards

ISO Metric (mm shank): From M3x0.5 up to M16x2.0

American UN (inch shank): From No.10-32 up to 1×8”

• Grade

VTH grade specifically designed for heavy-duty thread milling. TiCN for high resistance to wear

VARGUS GENiusTM Software: Multiple Passes

The VARGUS GENius™ software for tool selection and cutting data fully supports the new TM Solid Multiflute Tools, and allows the user to program thread milling applications with multiple passes. The VARGUS GENius™ automatically generates the recommended number of passes required, based on the machining data that is entered.

The GENius software allows the user to change the number of passes manually, as well as to modify the depth of the final pass. This important new patent pending feature is recommended for applications that require multiple passes, such as long threads, difficult to machine applications, and hard materials.
