Key to its versatility is its ability to remove chips perfectly, achieved courtesy of a new cutting edge geometry, as well as optimised flutes, which facilitate reliable removal of the chips. Winding chips and loose swarf are consistently avoided.
When reversing in blind hole machining, MasterTap ensures an extremely reliable process as the chips are sheared off in a targeted manner via the specially designed tooth back and the chip roots are smoothed for various materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and cast iron. The strengths of the tool shine, in particular, when machining high strength steel materials, thanks to its deliberately rounded cutting edges. The rounding also ensures a defined and continuous wear behaviour without breakouts and thus longer service life.
HSS-E-PM cutting material and an AlTiX high performance coating are employed. The special ultra-smooth AlTiX coating protects against premature wear and allows high cutting speeds, even in Al-wrought alloys, because the low friction values prevent material sticking and thread corrosion. Thanks to its special guide thread, the tool achieves precise results without axial slicing even in ductile copper alloys.
