Improved design, more rugged construction, and advanced coating result in superior performance in multiple
Swiss-style applications with the latest addition to the Carmex Mini Tools family. The carbide shank toolholders provide enhanced vibration resistance and long reach.

The vertical inserts are constructed of BLU-Sub-micron grade carbide with advanced PVD triple layer coating for high heat resistance, smoother cutting operation, and better finish. Toolholders feature through coolant, and inserts can
be quickly indexed.

Capable of threading, grooving, boring, profiling, and chamfering, these units are ideal for long threads or long-reach applications, as well as small diameter, course pitch threads.

Jim White, national sales manager for Carmex USA, comments: "The increased Swiss-style machining for complex part production has resulted in the introduction of a wide range of tools for grooving and other applications. Thanks
to our more than 28 years of experience in thread milling applications, Carmex engineering has developed a superior and more versatile tool for multiple applications. The insert is positioned in a recessed pocket in the toolholder that
provides additional support, while the carbide construction minimizes vibration even in long-reach applications. This results in a combination of improved performance and longer tool life."
