THREAD MILLING

THREAD MILLING

Thread milling is the recommended method anytime producing threads involves variation of dimensions, difficult materials, weak set-ups, slim walls, tap breakage risks, expensive components, tiny tolerances, good surface finishing, long overhangs, right or left hand threads and eventual other obstacles.

ADVANTAGES OF THREAD MILLING

• Continuous spindle rotation – no need to stop and reverse the spindle when coming out of the hole
• Less spindle maintenance and no need of expensive synchronized tap holders
• Easy machining of difficult materials that produces short and controllable chips and much less cutting forces
• Full bottom threading with precise thread depth control and start position
• Less cutting pressure for thin-walled workpieces - less breakage and deformation risks
• One tool for a variety of thread diameters with the same thread pitch
• One tool for both right and left-hand threads as well as through or blind holes
• Minimized tool inventory, less tooling costs
