Thread Milling Process
Thread milling is a tool designed to cut threads by milling. In comparison to general tapping, this is more stable with less cutting condition limitations in terms of chip management and coolant lubricity.
As a rule, thread mills are limited to threads no smaller than 1⁄8″(3.175mm), and because of the high cutting forces and resulting tool deflection, are generally limited to threading holes about 3 diameters deep. On the other hand, taps for #000-120 watch threads are readily available, and an extension tap can reach roughly 20 diameters deep.
Capable Thread Milling Applications
Thread Milling can be used in many different industries that include machining:
- Asymmetric/non-rotating components
- Materials that cause chip breaking and chip evacuation problems
- Tough materials that create high cutting forces
- Against a shoulder or close to the bottom of a blind hole
- Thin-walled components
- Component setups that are unstable
- Tool inventory that needs to be minimized
