The AS5202-X will cut the required spot face and counterbore only; it does not cut the thread minor diameter. A coolant hole to each flute aids with increased chip evacuation, higher speeds and feeds, and longer tool life. The polished flute face optimizes performance for a smoother surface finish. The body of the port tool is made of heat-…
The SAEJ1926-X will cut the required spot face and O-Ring taper only; it does not cut the thread minor diameter. A coolant hole to each flute aids with increased chip evacuation, higher speeds and feeds, and longer tool life. The polished flute face optimizes performance for a smoother surface finish. The body of the port tool is made of heat-…
Cutting diameter sizes range from 1/8" to 1/2". Included angle options are 90° or 120°. The two-flute design is optimal when chip evacuation and increased chip per tooth are the priority. For harder materials, the fortified strength of the four-flute design performs best and allows for increased feed rates in hard materials. Items are…
Smaller thread size port tools are three flutes and larger thread size port tools are four flutes. 1179 port tools have a polished flute face for the best performance. Items are stocked uncoated or AlTiN coated. AlTiN coating is highly recommended if cutting steel as the coating prevents the chip from sticking to the carbide. Additionally, AlTiN…
Scientific Cutting Tools has expanded the Single Point Thread Mill (SPTM) line with new sizes and lengths. The additional sizes include #5 and 7/16 for UN standards as well as larger M3 and M11 sizes for metric. The new extra long (XL) lengths were created for deeper threads. It is available in both UN and metric. All tools are available uncoated…
Scientific Cutting Tools Inc. announces a new line of high-performance helical chamfer mills. The helical cutters are significantly freer cutting and impart a smoother finish than the standard straight-flute alternatives. The variable-helical flute design provides high sheer, reduced side cutting pressure and improved chip evacuation, thus…
Scientific Cutting Tools offers the new SPTM EXJ thread mill. The SPTM EXJ is an economical tool engineered for cutting external UNJ threads. It features a single thread profile that is ideal for keeping side-cutting pressure low.
Scientific Cutting Tools offers Coolant Ring Technology holders. CRT holders are made from high-quality heat-treated steel and come with a black-oxide coating. They are engineered to allow for better coolant penetration deep into the bore, reducing temperature at the cutting edge, according to the company.
Scientific Cutting Tools Inc. (SCT) stocks UN thread mills for cutting from 4-40 up to 3-1/2-8, as well as NPT, BSPP and BSPT 1/16 to 2½ and up, according to the company based in Simi Valley, Calif. Except for staggered-tooth thread mills, all of SCT's solid-carbide, straight-flute thread mills are crest-cutting, and are used for cutting…
