Choosing the Right Threading Tool for Your Operation
There are several considerations to keep in mind when selecting the appropriate threading tool for your operation. If you are unsure which type of tool is best suited to your application, contact us, and we will assist you. Common factors to consider include:
External vs internal threading
Thread pitch
Cutting speed
Number of passes required
The type and size of part
Chip control
Types of Metal Thread Cutters
Thread Taps & Inserts
Threading taps are specially designed to cut female threads in metal fasteners. We supply a variety of options for making different types of cuts, including spiral point taps, spiral flute taps, straight flute taps, pipe taps, and forming taps. We also supply thread insert taps for cutting oversized threads.
Solid Carbide Threading Tools
Solid carbide thread milling cutters are used with CNC machines to cut either I.D. or O.D. threads. Unlike taps, solid thread mill cutters are designed to helically interpolate a thread and provide enough clearance to evacuate the chip as well as evacuate a broken thread mill without scrapping a part.
