The new tool is suitable for both blind-hole and through-hole threads.

The TD610 is offered for thread depths up to 2.0 × nominal diameter (DN). The tool can thread steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals and super alloys up to a hardness of 48 HRC (ISO P, M, K, N and S material groups). The program offering is M4 to M20, M4×0.5 to M20×2, UNC8 to UNC7/8, UNF8 to UNF3/4 and G1/16 to G1.

The TD610 Supreme thread milling cutter features an optimized short flute geometry for maximum stability, a differential pitch for smooth running with short threads and a modified neck geometry. The tool is made of Walter’s high-performance grade WB10TU for the best performance in a wide range of materials. The shank is produced in accordance with the DIN 6535 HB standard.

The thread mill is ideal for meeting strict requirements on process reliability, such as when threading expensive components. The cutter produces threads with excellent quality and enables short machining times and a long tool life with few radius corrections.

The Walter lineup of products consists of three categories to its tools. Supreme indicates the highest level of technology and performance available. Perform tools are products that provide an economical solution with focused importance on price and Advance which indicates product efficiently balanced between price and performance.

Union Butterfield family of products to be upgraded to Dormer Pramet brand https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/quality/union-butterfield-family-of-products-to-be-upgraded-to-dormer-pramet-brand/ Fri, 26 Jul 2024 16:48:41 +0000 https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/?p=80150 Our customers will be able to purchase comparable products from the Dormer Pramet family, which offer excellent performance, tool longevity and quality, at comparable price levels. With this change, we are strengthening the development of the Dormer Pramet assortment towards expanding and offering reliable ANSI standard threading tools. The company is committed to offering a comprehensive product portfolio and threading solutions are already available for customers in North America at the time of this publication.

Concurrently, by the 31st of December 2024, all products, and solutions under the UB brand will be retired with no new items produced within this product family. Dormer Pramet will not re-stock UB products. However, the existing stock will be available for customers to order until the 30th of March 2025. At the end of this period, UB products will no longer be available for purchase from our distributors, e-shop, official catalogs, or other channels.

UB is a well-known and respected North American brand with more than 100 years of history supporting manufacturing by providing cutting tools.

“The industry landscape and Dormer Pramet ambitions dictate that we will transition away from the Union Butterfield brand in the market and step away from this product family and offer our customers an upgrade to Dormer Pramet. This will better position us in the market and achieve sustainable growth, benefiting both our business and our customers.” Eduardo Martin, President.

We are committed to being your reliable partner and one of the leading brands in North America.

New Seco Threading Grade Excels in Critical Parts and Materials https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/tooling-workholding/inserts/new-seco-threading-grade-excels-in-critical-parts-and-materials/ Thu, 20 Jun 2019 13:54:54 +0000 https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/?p=46441 To prevent threading chips from ruining critical parts in the final phases of production, the advanced coating and tool geometry of the new TTP2050 threading insert grade from Seco Tools combine to provide efficient, secure, stable performance, along with effective chip control.

The TTP2050 grade’s nano-laminate PVD coating increases tool life on inserts and produces high running parameters for increased threading productivity, giving it the extreme wear resistance to machine cast irons, tool steels, stainless steels and other challenging steels. Made from alternating layers of titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) and titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), this chemistry outperforms the general-purpose coatings often used on threading tools. At the same time, the TTP2050 grade offers the tool geometry to increase productivity in these challenging materials.

The TTP2050 threading grade is available in 44 profiles with geometry -A, in 11 mm and 16 mm (0.433″ and 0.650″) sizes. The new grade comes in both internal and external threading for all standard, common thread profiles.

Walter Advance taps provide excellent reliability and performance. https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/metalworking/walter-advance-taps-provide-excellent-reliability-and-performance/ Thu, 18 Apr 2019 15:39:37 +0000 https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/?p=44522 Walter has announced the introduction of the TC117/TC217 Advance cut taps for high threading productivity in a wide range of different materials. The Advance lineup is one of the three categories to Walter threading tools. The Advance line signifies product that is efficiently balanced between price and performance. The others are Perform tools that provide an economical solution with focused importance on price and the Supreme line indicating the highest level of technology and performance available.

The versatile TC117 (blind-hole) and TC217 (through-hole) taps tackle material ranging from steel to aluminum (ISO material groups P, M, K and N), materials up to 370 HB and because of this versatility can help save on inventory costs by reducing the number of taps needed. The TC117 blind-hole tap has a 40° helix angle and up to 2.5 x DN with chamfer form C (semi bottoming) or E (full bottoming). The TC217 through-hole tap features a spiral point for forward chip evacuation and a thread depth capability of 3.0 × DN. Both taps use HSS-E substrate that provides excellent durability due to its cobalt enrichment.
The new sizes include UNC thread styles, giving these highly flexible taps an even wider range of application in a variety of materials.

The taps feature WY80RG for good chip control, good wear resistance and higher cutting speeds and WY80FC, which sacrifices wear resistance and cutting speeds but offers much better chip control for stringy and difficult-to-control chips such as stainless steel. Dimension range includes UNC 1-64 to UNC 2 1/2-6; UNF 0-80 to UNF 1 1/4-12; UN 1 1/8-8 to UN 1 5/8-8; UNS 1-14; STIUNC 2-56 to STIUNC 3/8-16; STIUNF 10-32 to STIUNF 3/8-24; and M3 to M20, all offered with DIN length/ANSI Shank(DIN/ANSI standard).

The Multi-task CMR is the Newest Addition to the Carmex Tiny Tool Line https://industrialmachinerydigest.com/quality/carmex-multi-task-cmr-2/ Thu, 06 Aug 2015 16:05:00 +0000 http://www.industrialmachinerydigest.com/?p=19364 New CMR Multi-Task Tiny Tool from Carmex provides multiple small hole operations without the need for a pilot hole

The latest addition to the Carmex Tiny Tool line—the multi-task CMR—allows users to bore, turn, face and chamfer with a single tool. The unique cutting geometry permits machining without the need for a pilot hole, thereby saving the time and expense of an entire operation.

Designed with a vertical coolant hole and a spiral flute, the multi-task CMR continually evacuates chips out of the hole during machining. “The new multi-task CMR Tiny Tool not only shortens machine cycle time but, thanks to the variety of operations it performs, it saves money on tooling,” according to Jeff Dei, president of Carmex USA. “Sub-micron carbide, coupled with BMK grade carbide and advanced PVD triple layer coating, improves finish and yields longer life. The multi-task CMR delivers unprecedented versatility, combined with productivity and dollar savings,” Jeff added.
