The Swedish firm Scandinavian Tool Systems (STS) is well known for its highly consistent, innovative thread-turning solutions, which are perfect for threading small diameters in tough-to-machine materials, e.g., high-nickel alloys. They guarantee top-notch performance, even when deployed for high-volume machining. STS caters to CNC workshops, automotive suppliers, and aerospace and energy sectors in more than 40 countries.
The Thread Turning tools from STS include the QuadCut®, which has revolutionized internal and external threading with its upright, square inserts that offer stronger cutting than traditional triangular inserts. Its compact design is ideal for Swiss-type lathes and other tight setups. With the QuadCut®, you get:
Another patented STS solution is the TwinCut®, designed for turning large pitch threads in small bores. Available with both right-hand and left-hand threading, its dual cutting edges and precise indexing guarantee efficiency and reliability.
Using these tools with LATUMA® coating enhances their thermal stability and wear resistance when machining materials like stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys.
