Carmex’s line of tooling for Swiss-type and automatic lathes includes tools for thread turning and chamfering, finishing, parting, grooving and deep grooving, and special geometries. Made of advanced submicron-grade carbide (K10-K30) and PVD triple coating, the tools provide high wear resistance in materials such as stainless steels, titanium and super alloys, the company says.
Carmex also offers a selection of thread milling tools and toolholders, including a mini spiral mill-thread available in several sizes.
