Conventional threading systems are characterised by their complexity and the resulting high application know-how.

MSS-TC is synonymous with:

• easy application
• the tools can be used in both directions without correcting the helix angle
• very good accessibility
• inserts suitable for thread turning and thread milling

The CERATIZIT Grades for Threading Tools:

- Main grades for threading tools - uncoated

- Main grades for parting tools - coated

MSS-TC - the characteristics

---

system characteristics:

• turning and milling with the same insert
• single-tooth thread milling

benefits:

• flexibility, reduced variety and costs
• low machining forces, large overhang possible

 

MSS-TC - the differences

---

MSS-TC system	conventional system
better economy through: reduced machining times less tool changing improved stability, small overhang material savings thread turning between shoulders possible fewer tools and inserts	for this machining method 2 tools are necessary additional loss of stability and material through large overhangs
MSS-TC system	conventional system
easy to apply as tools can be used in both directions without correcting the helix angle	correction of helix angle necessary, therefore high degree of application know how indispensable can only be operated in one direction

MSS-TC - the solution

---

system functions:

• separate shank, tool holder, and module
• same interface for all parting, grooving and threading applications
• stable and precise connection
• extendable through new modules
• ease of application
• clamping functions optimised for the various applications of the insert

MSS-TC - the system components

---

1. grooving and turning - GX
2. parting, grooving and turning - LX
3. threading - TC
4. axial grooving - GX
5. parting and grooving - FX

 

MSS-TC - the advantages

---

simplicity:

• quick module change in case of tool breakage
• ease of application

precision:

• high accuracy and repeatability
• reduced set-up times

economy:

• low stock inventory provides a large variety of combination possibilities
