Select the Proper Thread Mill For Your Application
Choose an Advent Thread Mill that best fits your application. First,
consider the number of parts being made. For a large production run where
cycle times are of the utmost importance, a multi-flute thread mill would
be your best choice for speed and thread quality. Also consider the diameter
of the thread form to be produced along with the length of the form and
the pitch. The machine tool holders should also be considered so as not
to choose too large of a thread mill in relation to your holder. Keep
in mind that the thread mill must fit inside the minor diameter of your
thread form. In most cases the first two numbers of our tools represent
the smallest thread form that it is able to cut. Always check for the
cutter diameter in the catalog to ensure proper clearance. Also note the
ST and the OS notations in the catalog it states the tool diameter with
the deeper form which requires a larger insert. This may indicate that
you require the smaller tool holder so as to fit into the minor diameter.
