No doubt, thread milling has completely changed the manner in which machinists approach threading. Tapping may be time-tested, relatively fast, and proven effective, but it has its drawbacks. Thread milling is efficient and effective; it uses a mill of a smaller diameter than the hole which needs to be threaded, which streamlines chip evacuation and…
High-quality, solid carbide end mills can be used in a variety of CNC machining applications while shaping and cutting a material, including but not limited to profiling, contouring, counterboring, slotting, and drilling. Solid carbide is a choice material, especially over high-speed steel (HSS), which, though it often has a more attractive price point, is not…
Machining is a time-consuming procedure, especially when dealing with metal parts. Milling cutters are put under a lot of stress, which is why you should invest in equipment that are intended to withstand the heat and speed of milling. Stainless steels, for example, will lose their temper when exposed to the high temperatures associated with…
Threading is an important aspect of the machining process. Threads are required to bolt interlocking components together. When making parts, especially replacement parts, it’s critical to ensure thread size and pitch precision. When it comes to threading milling cutters, you have a few alternatives, including full form and single pitch thread mills. Knowing which equipment…
