3.5.2 MTFLE– Shell Mill for Indexable Inserts
THREAD MILLING MTFLE is a multi-tooth shell mill toolholder with indexable inserts used for thread milling

applications of external threads. These tools can mount various thread inserts with different
profiles, meaning that one tool is suitable for production of a wide range of thread standards.
The same tool can be used for producing right-hand and left-hand threads. All MTFLE tools
have internal coolant directed to the cutting area. This type of tool is suitable for thread
production with long overhang.
The pockets for inserts are produced with high accuracy and uniformity, meaning there is
no need to select or adjust inserts for thread milling operations. MTFLE tools are mounted
on standard shell mill adapters. The MTFLE tool design with a multi-tooth insert position
enables a significant reduction in thread production time.
