Thread milling cutters have longer life than other cutting tools

Thread milling is a versatile, cost-effective process capable of cutting a variety of threads, parts and workpiece materials on one machine. This process uses helical interpolation on a CNC machine tool to create internal or external threads.

“Thread mills produce threaded holes with a high surface finish and reduce tool inventory costs. A shop can run left- or right-hand threads and threads with different tolerances with one tool, and can produce threaded holes in a variety of diameters in a variety of materials. With Unlike tapping, threads produced by milling can be machined to a high degree of precision, even in carbide materials. In addition, cycle times are short and tool breakage is low – overall, they are very efficient tools.”

Advantages of thread milling cutters

•20-40% longer tool life compared to other threading operations

•High cutting strength and stiffness, especially on hard materials.

•Low tool inventory costs.

•Thread milling cutter can process threads of various diameters

Our tool tool grinders efficiently manufacture a range of thread milling cutters. Customers requiring high-volume or fully automated production can use lasers to measure and compensate within the machine tool
