FMT Thread Mills Increase Productivity and Performance
Carmex’s FMT thread mill can thread up to the bottom of a blind hole while delivering reliability for complex parts.
Constructed of MT8 carbide with Carmex’s BLU coating, the Fast-MT (FMT) thread mill delivers thread geometry and surface quality in shorter cycle times. The thread mill can thread up to the bottom of a blind hole while delivering the reliability necessary for complex parts.
The thread mill’s high-speed performance is said to result from the increased number of flutes, which require an heavy-duty carbide grade, as well as coating technology in order to ensure performance and longer tool life.
