MTE and MTF – Endmill and Shell Mill for Indexable Inserts

Endmill (MTE) and shell mill (MTF) are tools for indexable MTE – Designation Code Key:
inserts used for thread milling applications. These tools
can mount various thread inserts with different profiles, MTE D09.5 - 1 - W 20 - 12 THREAD MILLING
meaning that one tool is suitable for production of a 1 2 3 4 5
wide range of thread standards. The same tool can be MTE – endmills for indexable inserts
used for production of external and internal (except the
MTFLE which is dedicated for external applications), 1 Cutting Diameter (DC)
right-hand and left-hand threads. All tools in this line
have internal coolant directed to the cutting area. DC

MTE endmills can be produced from steel or solid
carbide. The solid carbide shanks expand the BD
