Thread turning is a demanding operation, where chip control and consistent tool life are critical to success. Our extensive assortment of thread turning tools covers a wide range of thread profiles and pitches. Choose one of these tools and ensure efficient, secure thread turning.
In thread milling, the thread is produced by doing a helical interpolation. The cutting process enables the production of threads from a nominal diameter of 1 mm (single profile), with multi-profile from M2. Some tools are also equipped with countersinkers and/or face cutters.
In contrast to thread cutting, no chips are produced when threads are made using thread formers. Materials with a breaking elongation >5 % and a tensile strength <1000 N/mm² are suitable for when forming threads. Formed threads have a smoother surface and greater tensile strength under dynamic stress than cut threads. Solid carbide thread formers have a tool life that is up to 20 times longer than those made of HSS-E. The patented thread former made of HSS-E with brazed carbide inserts are particularly well suited for use on transfer lines. The flexible base body compensates for small alignment errors, whilst the carbide achieves the longest tool life at the cutting point. Limitations: Thin-walled components with a wall thickness <2x lead cannot be formed.
