Designed for internal threading and grooving applications, the new Carmex Modular Line (ML) uses a single boring bar that can be fitted with multiple adapters, offering high accuracy, easy adjustment and full repeatability. Coated with abrasive-resistant nickel, the ML adapters can be used with all Carmex standard thread turning inserts sizes 16, 22 and 27 mm. The 16 mm grooving inserts fit the MLR-L 16-32 and MLR-L 16-40 adapters.

According to Jim White, national sales manager for Carmex USA: "The combination of high quality and flexibility in our new Modular Line not only provides high performance in internal machining, deep thread generation, and grooving, it can save appreciable costs by reducing tool inventories. The boring bars and adapters are designed for use with internal high-pressure as well as conventional coolant. The ML system is another example of how Carmex 'customer-centric' engineering is assisting our users in remaining competitive through higher performance and lower costs."
