Thread milling is a machining process used to produce internal and external threads on a workpiece. It is a form of milling that uses a rotating tool to cut threads into the workpiece. The tool is typically a multi-point cutting tool, such as a thread milling cutter, and is usually driven by a CNC machine. Thread milling is used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial. Thread milling is a cost-effective and efficient way to produce threads, as it requires fewer steps than traditional thread cutting methods. It also offers greater accuracy and repeatability, as well as the ability to produce threads in a variety of materials. Thread milling is also used to produce threads in hard-to-reach areas, such as blind holes and deep cavities. Thread milling is a popular choice for machine tools, as it is a fast and reliable way to produce threads. It is also used in a variety of applications, such as producing threads for fasteners, valves, and other components. Some companies in the thread milling market include Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Mitsubishi Materials, and OSG. Show Less Read more
