Emuge ZGF-S-Cut Thread Mills
Emuge Corp. has introduced advanced Threads-all™ ZGF-S-Cut Solid Carbide Thread Mills featuring multiple teeth, a helical flute form and multi-layer TiAlN T46 coating. The new ZGF-S-Cut Thread Mills increase tool life over ten times more than conventional tools and produce precise threads in exotic materials including Inconels, nickel based superalloys, monel, titanium, 420 stain-less steel and more.
For increased tool life and productivity, Emuge ZGF-S-Cut Thread Mills have multiple teeth, the first acting as a rougher and the next two teeth performing finishing. By dividing functions into three cutting edges, speeds and feeds can be increased, and threads can be produced in a single pass. A 10-degree left-hand helical flute form and chamfer geometry combine to optimize chip evacuation in the forward direction and add strength to the cutting teeth for enhanced tool life and process security. And for increased tool strength, Emuge ZGF-S-Cut Thread Mills have multiple flutes.
The tools are available in 2xD lengths, have coolant-fed options starting at 1/4" diameter, and one tool easily makes STI threads for both through and blind holes.
