Walter AB735 synchronous threading adaptor reduces tool wear

​Tooling expert Walter GB now offers the AB735 synchronous threading adaptor, which is designed to minimise the axial forces that occur during tapping and threading, reducing tool wear and, in particular, thread flank wear while reducing the chance of tool breakages.

In addition to extending tool life, the lean, short design of the adaptor, which can be used in all standard ER collet chucks, also makes it ideal for use in tight spaces, for example on turn/mill centres.

More cost-effective than comparable systems, the AB735 features quick-change exchangeable front pieces to enable different thread sizes and tool diameters (ER16 to ER32) to be used with the same collet – and tools with and without internal coolant supply - thus contributing to overall tool cost savings.
