thread mills achieve greater precision and higher speeds,
opening up a whole new range of threading production options.
One tool cuts both right and left hand threads in internal
and external applications. You can operate at up to 40% higher
feed rates and still expect
up to 50% longer tool life. When using indexable thread mills,
tooling and inventory costs are significantly reduced. All
of which can add up to productivity increases as high as 500%.
Consider thread milling
when:
•
Taper pipe threads are being produced.
•
The material is difficult to machine (e.g. high temperature
alloys and heat treated materials up to 62 Rc).
•
The machine has helical interpolation and RPM greater
than 6,000.
•
Thread specifications require special taps.
Usable threads are required to within 1 pitch of the bottom
of the hole or counterbore.
