Success Stories: Vector Oil Tool Limited

“Advent Tool and Manufacturing is the only way to go.”

Vector Oil Tool Limited says "prior to being introduced to the Advent line of thread mills through your distributor here in Edmonton, Alberta, Moore Industrial Ltd., Vector Oil Tool Limited tried two or three "big" name brands of thread mills. With these we had no success. Having given up on thread milling altogether we went back to just drilling and tapping all of our threads. The rep at Moore convined me to give your thread mill a try. Initially, I thought this might be a costly route to take. Later we would find this not to be true."

"The particular job we were doing consisted of drilling and tapping 6 - 1" line pipe threads into the side of a round tube, then moving the part to a milling machine to mill a slot. The job took about one and half hours to do and a new tap every three parts. We bought one thread mill and some spare inserts through Moore Industrial and setup one of our machining centers using the software program sent from Advent."

The Advent Advantage

"Well here's what happened, the part was done in nine minutes. The tool also went on to mill another 30 parts before having to change the inserts. That's 180 threads and even at that they probably didn't have to be changed, we just wanted to be sure. This was a major improvement from what we were doing. We went from two setups in two machines, to one setup, cut the part time down by TEN TIMES plus paid for the tooling in the first run! Needless to say we went on to buy several more cutters for a variety of threads and find that thread milling with Advent Tool and Manufacturing is the only way to go."
