Tool for forming internal threads in pilot holes in workpieces

摘要

A tool for producing an internal thread in a workpiece pilot hole having a thread major diameter and a thread minor diameter, which tool has a thread-forming section, by which an internal thread profile can be produced in a pilot hole wall. The internal thread profile having the thread major diameter and a thread inner diameter. The tool has a drilling section, by which the thread inner diameter of the internal thread profile can be expanded to the thread minor diameter by machining. At least one, in particular exactly one chip groove is associated with the drilling section of the tool, by which chip groove the chips produced as the thread inner diameter is expanded to the thread minor diameter can be transported away.
