THREAD MILLING

Thread Milling Heads with the MULTI-MASTER Connection

Highlights

ISCAR has modified most of the thread milling heads with the MULTI-MASTER connection to increase application and efficiency options. New milling heads have been added for the production of wider thread options.



ISCAR has changed the 12 mm and larger diameter thread milling head clamping method by replacing the clamping flats with a Torx cavity on the frontal face. The Torx key reliably secures the MULTI-MASTER thread milling heads and reduces the risk of overtightening.

In many cases the frontal clamping method is more convenient for the machine operator. Frontal clamping enables the production of a shorter head, to reduce the overhang of the milling head from the shank. This substantially increases the MULTI-MASTER tool’s stiffness, reducing vibration potential and increasing productivity.

Long Short


The Torx clamping design contributes both to performance and maintenance. The MULTI-MASTER thread milling heads can be used on any of the large variety MULTI-MASTER steel, carbide and heavy metal shanks with the proper thread connection size.
Another advantage is that the thread milling head can be replaced on the machine without having to set-up the edge location, substantially saving time.


The following three thread milling heads have been modified:
MT-W-MM
MT-ISO-MM
MT-UN-MM



Attached is a list of current thread milling heads and the new items that will replace them once their stock is depleted.

Note: It is important to follow the recommended clamping torque instructions as uncontrolled clamping torque can sometimes cause performance problems on MULTI-MASTER heads. Over-tightening can cause MM thread breakage, while insufficient clamping torque can cause vibrations, drastically reducing tool life and part accuracy.
ISCAR offers the means to actually control the recommended clamping torque setting. The required clamping torque can easily be set on a handle with a scale window that displays the set torque value. For further information, please refer to NPA 29-2016.
