Compact MST Angle Heads



MST angle heads are available for 90°, 45° and invariable-angle applications. The MST system features up to 6,000 RPM with .0002" T.I.R. at the cavity.

"MST angle heads employ a thru-the-body coolant system that cools the body and splashes the cutter simultaneously, providing long tool life and machining efficiency," said a company spokesperson. "Precisely machined cast iron housings, hardened, precision spiral bevel gears and precision angular contact ball bearings provide enhanced, long term design-level performance."

The modular design provides complete interchangeability among shanks and angle heads, making it ideal for short-run jobs. Shanks and heads can be quickly changed to meet the requirements of a new task. Angle heads are available in 45 and 90 configurations. Two inch, four and six inch extensions and miniature angle heads for tight space applications are also available.

Designed for heavy-duty cutting, MST solid heads can be switched among machines with the same taper and flange. Equipped with an orientation ring and key, they can be set for any cutting direction.

Flange Series heads are available in three angle shaft configurations: collet chuck, BT30 and CAT40 master-holder type. MST flange heads are bolted onto the spindle face for increased rigidity.

MST HALF Series angle heads are designed for light-duty operations, including drilling, tapping and milling. The HALF Mini is lightweight and slim. With up to 1/4" chucking capacity, the HALF Mini fits into I.D.s as small as 1.42". HALF universal-type angle heads can cut from any angle from 0° to 360° and 0 to +/- 120°. All HALF Series angle heads are available in CAT, BT, HSK, Capto and KM shaft configurations.
