.: Thread Milling

Thread milling is a process of thread production by Helical interpolation, it is done on CNC machining centres and CNC lathes with powered tooloing facilites.

WHY CHOOSE THREAD MILLING?

1. Versatility - one cutter produces internal, external, right and left hand, all sizes and class of fit, all materials for any constant pitch.

2. Consistency - selection of the correct cutter will produce repeated accuracy of size and quality, affected less by variationsin material processes.

3. Longest life - the process allows use of superior grades of HSS and carbide, which combined with it's natural cutting action, results in significantly longer tool life.

4. Range of Thread Milling - from 3m/m any pitch can be produced.
