2. Applications – Thread milling
Coolant
• A thread mill does not require coolant
Cutting force
• A thread mill can make large threads in smaller machines due to
reduced cutting force
• Reduced cutting forces also make thread mills an ideal solution
for machining thin-walled components
Thread quality
• Due to its shape, a thread mill can
achieve full-bottom threading in a blind
hole with no extra drill depth required
• A thread mill can be programmed with radius correction, allow-
wing for easy adjustment of the thread tolerance
• A thread mill minimizes the pre-machined hole diameter, com-
pared to a tap, so that threads can be produced with better
thread coverage
