The new Carmex AMT (aluminum mill-thread) cutter delivers a fine surface finish, good chip evacuation and is constructed of solid carbide to absorb cutting forces in high-speed aluminum machining. Available in a cylindrical shank or Weldon shank, the AMT is designed to minimize the tendency of aluminum to stick to the cutting tool edges. The uncoated smooth cutting edge, equipped with coolant hole pass-through, generates high thread surface and is ideal for both right- and left-hand internal threads.

According to Jim White, national sales manager for Carmex USA, "The AMT tool is ideal for applications in the aerospace and automotive industries and others where there is demand for both high speed and high precision in the machining of aluminum. An extremely versatile tool, the AMT can also be used in applications involving cast iron and stainless steels. It is available in a variety of sizes and thread configurations."
