Microscope range of single-ended micro tools for accurate small threads, bores and grooves

The Vargus MiniPro threading solution range has been expanded with a Microscope line of single-ended micro tools that are highly accurate for small bore (down to 1.7 mm diameter) threading, grooving and boring applications in all materials. Featuring high wear-resistant VBX TiCN-coated inserts (of 4, 5, 6 or 7 mm diameter) for both high and low cutting speed tasks, the Microscope range offers consistently high-performance in threading – ISO, UN, Whitworth, NPT, partial 60º and partial 55º; boring - the new design of combination boring and long nose copy tools (maximum depth is 1.75 mm) promotes excellent chip evacuation; and grooving – square grooving at profile widths of 1, 1.5 and 2 mm, and to depths up to 0.8, 1, 1.8 and 2.5 mm, round grooving to radius size groups up to 0.5, 0.75 and 1 mm and internal and external face grooving to depths of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm. In addition, Microscope is suited to pre-part off applications, and is designed to eliminate any burrs created during cut-off. Microscope also features a new fast and easy clamping system using a single screw, together with a slanted location system for precise radial and axial positioning, guaranteeing highly-repeatable edge height and overhang.
