Join Cutting Tool Engineering Editor-in-Chief Dennis Spaeth and Vargus USA for a special livestream episode of Bourbon With The Editor™. Tonight’s pour explores the precision, power, and possibilities of solid carbide thread milling.
This isn’t just a conversation about tooling—it’s a look inside the Vargus approach to solving tough machining challenges with innovation, service, and performance-driven solutions. From threading hard materials and going 4X or 5X deep, to using thread mills as small as 1mm, this is the kind of insight that can transform your shop’s capabilities.
You’ll also get a firsthand look at the award-winning VARGUS GENius™ tool selector and real-world test results behind product lines like:
- TMDR™ and Millipro™
- HC, HCN and Helicool-R™
- MultiFlute™ and MACH™ TM
- And more from the latest promos and solid carbide lineup
Whether you’re on the shop floor or just want to sharpen your threading knowledge, now’s the time to join us live and ask your questions.

- gang cutting ( milling)
gang cutting ( milling)
Machining with several cutters mounted on a single arbor, generally for simultaneous cutting.
- milling
milling
Machining operation in which metal or other material is removed by applying power to a rotating cutter. In vertical milling, the cutting tool is mounted vertically on the spindle. In horizontal milling, the cutting tool is mounted horizontally, either directly on the spindle or on an arbor. Horizontal milling is further broken down into conventional milling, where the cutter rotates opposite the direction of feed, or “up” into the workpiece; and climb milling, where the cutter rotates in the direction of feed, or “down” into the workpiece. Milling operations include plane or surface milling, endmilling, facemilling, angle milling, form milling and profiling.
- threading
threading
Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and rolling of threads into particular material. Standardized specifications are available to determine the desired results of the threading process. Numerous thread-series designations are written for specific applications. Threading often is performed on a lathe. Specifications such as thread height are critical in determining the strength of the threads. The material used is taken into consideration in determining the expected results of any particular application for that threaded piece. In external threading, a calculated depth is required as well as a particular angle to the cut. To perform internal threading, the exact diameter to bore the hole is critical before threading. The threads are distinguished from one another by the amount of tolerance and/or allowance that is specified. See turning.
