Thread mills present several advantages over traditional taps in manufacturing. They offer greater versatility, allowing for deeper threading into holes and reducing the risk of tool breakage. Proper feed rates are crucial for optimal performance, and using a code generator can enhance efficiency. Overall, thread mills serve as a more effective and cost-efficient solution for various threading applications.
Experience over 13,000 head and shank combinations for your endmilling operations with Tungaloy’s TungMeister. Choose from a wide range of exchangeable heads, including square, face milling, high-feed milling, ball, radius, barrel, slotting, threading, chamfering, and more! TungMeister increases productivity by up to 90% compared to a solid endmill, with a simplified setup where only the head is indexed.
The flat machining of bi‐metal surfaces or milling applications involving an interrupted cut can present challenges to PCD or carbide milling cutters. Inserts may chip during the milling process, resulting in high machining costs & elevated levels of sub‐standard or rejected parts. ElectroMill® produces high quality, flat milled surfaces, even if an interrupted cut is present or multiple materials are to be machined simultaneously.
Tungaloy expands its TungForceRec series with a larger Size 18 insert, offering enhanced versatility through four insert sizes for broader milling applications. This high-performance shoulder milling solution ensures exceptional stability, reliability, and efficiency. The Size 18 insert delivers unmatched strength, a max depth of cut of 0.650", and tool diameters ranging from 1.000" to 6.000". Its unique V-shaped insert bottom and innovative clamping system boost durability and rigidity while reducing cutting resistance, ideal for machining small pockets and slots.
