RAMPING UP THREAD MILLING: Peace of mind With threading difficult materials is one process feature

摘要

Thread milling produces threads with a ramping movement of a circulating tool that moves around the inside radius of the hole. Depending on the material, the machine, and the application, it may be a little slower than tapping, but it can make difficult threading jobs easier. Thread milling and its helical interpolation offer a high-quality surface finish; smooth threads in hard materials; the ability to cut threads to the bottom of the hole; multi-use tooling for threading through or blind holes, cutting various size threads with the same pitch, or making both left- and right-hand threads; and peace of mind.
