Threading Tools

Walter has introduced the T2713, a universal indexable thread mill suitable for a variety of materials up to 55 HRC. This newest addition to the Walter thread milling system combines the advantages of thread milling with the efficiency of tapping. Due to the smooth cutting and lower cutting forces, machining times can be comparable to those of thread tapping and forming.

Tungaloy is expanding its TetraMini-Cut, an indexable thread turning tool series with four-edged insert, to include full profile threading inserts for machining external threads in ISO metric thread standards.

Tungaloy is introducing the ETTL model for ThreadMilling, an indexable thread milling tool series for efficient thread milling operations.

Walter has released the TC620 Supreme thread milling cutter, enabling threading that combines maximum productivity with superior process reliability. Its multiple-row concept with its lower cutting forces not only reduces machine time and wear, but also improves process reliability and handling, even with demanding materials.

Scientific Cutting Tools has expanded the Single Point Thread Mill (SPTM) line with new sizes and lengths. The additional sizes include #5 and 7/16 for UN standards as well as larger M3 and M11 sizes for metric. The new extra long (XL) lengths were created for deeper threads. It is available in both UN and metric. All tools are available uncoated or with AlTiN coating.

Known for smooth cutting operations at high feed rates that reduce machining time, the Carmex Precision Tools Mini Spiral Mill-Thread line is now available in inch sizes, as well as metric. The spiral fluted toolholders, with internal coolant bore, hold from one to three inserts and are available in comparably small cutting diameters.
