Unf'ing believeable. Looks like a killer tool. We are big on thread milling in our VMC. Have not seen this tool. Unfortunately, according to the Emuge web site, the smallest size they make for blind holes is 1/4" or #10 for thru holes, our holes are 6 and 8-32. But, I will be looking at these for our next jobs with larger threaded holes.
Thanks to all, this site is proving to be an excellent resource. All the guys in the shop are registering and will have their own bonehead questions. They are all registering with the STS_, so you will be able to recognize them. |
I will get you our reps number Bud Hurbert is his name, They will acually make you any size you want. I think our 4mm are specials and not off the shelf. As long as you got a check book anything is posible. You would not believe some of the goofy stuff I get made. I got pop bottle "G" syle drill that will drill chamfer and back inerpolate an inside cmfr all in one cut, It saves me tons of cycle time. When I first started using them we had to draw them up and show them what we wanted, Now i think they may be stock items i some suplyers catalogs. As long as you can aford it the mind is the limmit when it comes to tooling. That is where all this goofy looking stuff comes from. "Nesity is the mother of invention" That is so true
