The generation of a correct thread requires not only the cutting of the thread itself but also several preparatory and subsequent operations. This begins with selection of the correct core hole diameter and ends with the checking of the finished thread. Core hole End cutting thread milling Pre-drilling Pre-drilling and The twist drill creates countersinking the core hole for the in a single operation thread-cutting tool. The new GARANT Master Steel FEED stepped drill creates the 90° countersink for the thread in a single operation together with drilling the core hole.
