Select the Proper Thread Mill For Your Application
Choose an Advent Thread Mill that best fits your application. 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 being cut 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
represents 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 require a larger insert. This may
indicate that you require the smaller tool holder so as to fit into
the minor diameter.
