VARGUS offers an advanced Thread Milling Line featuring innovative cutting tools designed for precise thread mills across various industrial applications.
The VARDEX THREAD MILLING line provides a wide range of applications and solutions in multi-tooth, single-tooth for deep holes, and solid carbide tools.
The Thread Milling Advantages:
■ Enables machining of large work pieces which cannot be easily mounted on a lathe
■ Easily machine non-rotatable and asymmetrical parts
■ Complete operation in one clamping
■ Threading of large diameters requires less power than threading using taps
■ No upper limits to bore diameter
■ Chips are short
■ Blind holes without a thread relief groove can be machined
■ Thread relief grooves are unnecessary
■ One holder can be used for both internal and external threads
■ One tool can be used for both right hand and left hand thread
■ Inventory can be reduced to a minimum as small range of tooling covers a wide range of thread diameters
■ Interchangeable inserts
■ Suitable for machining of hard materials
■ Threads have a high surface finish
■ Allows for correction of tool diameter and length
■ Interrupted cuts are easily machined
■ One tool for a wide range of materials
■ A better thread quality in soft materials where taps normally tear the material
■ Short machining time due to high cutting speed and rapid feed rates
■ Small cutting forces allow machining of parts with thin walls

The Thread Milling Line features the following product families:
TM Standard
VARGUS is known as the first producer of Thread Milling tools, using the TM Standard.
The TM Standard is the most common industry method based on indexable multitooth inserts. All the teeth are machined simultaneously so every tool creates one pitch.

TMSD - Thread Milling for Deep Holes
A multi-flute, highly productive and economical solution for milling threads in deep holes.
The TMSD line also offers full profile inserts in ISO Metric, American UN, NPT, API Round & American Buttress.
TMSD Line System Advantages:
Smooth Cut - Reduced load on cutting edges due to single point insert design
Wide Range of Profiles - Full profile: ISO, UN, NPT, API RD & ABUT. Partial profile: 60°, 55°, Semi Partial profile for: TR, ACME, Stub ACME
Cost Effective - Up to 3 cutting edges per insert. Very high feed per tooth
Fast Machining - Multi-flute, up to 7 cutting edges (inserts)
Long Overhang - Up to 144mm (200mm in Shell Mill)
Coolant Thru - For improved chip evacuation and cooling at the cutting corner
Vertical Inserts - Reinforced Cutting Corner Support
Smaller Tool Cutting Diameter with 3 Flutes - As small as 10.5mm
Conical Thread Preparation - Capabilities to machine conical threads from a cylindrical pre-drilled hole

MiTM - Multi-Flute Indexable Thread Milling
An innovative system for fast machining and reducing cycle times when machining threads with long inserts.
MiTM holders are nickel coated, providing anti-rust protection.
MiTM tools are offered in Standard, Conical, Shell Mill & Shell Mill Conical.
The VARDEX Multi-flute Indexable Thread Milling (MiTM) system for fast machining, reduces cycle times when machining threads with long inserts. New nickel coating for all MiTM toolholders provides better anti-rust protection.

TM Solid - Solid Carbide Thread Milling Tools
A complete range of miniature and long solid carbide tools, available with and without coolant.
The TM Solid line features a wide range of solid carbide thread milling tools for general purposes as well as specific wide-ranging industries from automotive and taps, to medical and dental.
The advantages of using the VARDEX TM Solid line are:
- Small thread due to small cutting diameter
- Multi flutes for extremely fast machining
- High rigidity
- Unique design for machining hard materials (up to 63 HRc)
- High accuracy
- Designed to fit specific applications
- Cylindrical shank - hydraulic and shrink fit clamping
- Minimal run-out
