Thread Milling

In CNC precision machining, threading demands extremely high dimensional accuracy, excellent surface finish, and stable process control. Selecting the right carbide threading insert not only directly affects thread quality but also impacts overall machining efficiency and tool life. With the wide variety of thread insert tools available—from traditional turning inserts to modern thread mill cutter […]

In modern CNC machining, NPT threads are widely used for pipe connections in hydraulic systems, pneumatic devices, fluid control, and petrochemical equipment. Due to the unique tapered design and sealing requirements of NPT threads, the machining method directly affects joint tightness and product reliability. Currently, the two most common NPT thread machining approaches are traditional tapping

In CNC precision machining, thread milling has increasingly replaced traditional tapping thanks to its versatility, low cutting stress, and suitability across a wide range of materials. Using a thread mill cutter or carbide thread mills delivers higher thread accuracy and longer tool life. However, thread milling presents its own set of challenges. When using a
