VariableMeister, Lock nut, AH725
IMPROVED TOOL LIFE
VariableMeister Short (for 1D applications) allows for a reduced overhang, and thanks to the effects of its unequal pitch and unequal helix design, it delivers maximum performance in machining with a small depth of cut (ap). In this case study, tool life doubled under the same cutting conditions.
