Seco Tools has added new capability to its portfolio with the signing of an agreement with the Polish company Fabryka Narzędzi FANAR S.A. (Fanar), a manufacturer of solid round tools, to enhance Seco’s product offering in solid threading.
Fanar will initially operate as an independent company and continue to sell its products under the Fanar brand. Fanar will strengthen the position of Seco, and growth ambitions, on the expansive Polish market.

threading
Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and rolling of threads into particular material. Standardized specifications are available to determine the desired results of the threading process. Numerous thread-series designations are written for specific applications. Threading often is performed on a lathe. Specifications such as thread height are critical in determining the strength of the threads. The material used is taken into consideration in determining the expected results of any particular application for that threaded piece. In external threading, a calculated depth is required as well as a particular angle to the cut. To perform internal threading, the exact diameter to bore the hole is critical before threading. The threads are distinguished from one another by the amount of tolerance and/or allowance that is specified. See turning.
