The increased use of CNC technology has created the conditions for a future-oriented technology for the production of internal and external threads.

Thread milling is a very useful alternative to thread cutting or thread forming in a large number of work cases. It offers the following advantages:

• High cutting Speeds and Feeds
• Multi-functional designs reduce cycle times by combining drilling, chamfering and threading operations into one tool (BGF and ZBGF)
• Produces threads with excellent form, finish, and dimensional accuracy
• Easy machining of difficult materials
• Eliminates the possibilities and consequences of tap breakage
• Full bottom threading
• Precise thread depth control
• Optimum positional accuracy
• Pitch diameter can be controlled by CNC offset
• One tool for right-hand and leff-hand threads
• One tool for through or blind holes
• One thread mill can produce varying thread diameters of the same pitch
• Produces small controllable chips (No Bird Nesting)
• Smaller machines can produce larger threads due to less spindle torque
• Less cutting pressure for thin walled workpieces
• Tool storage space can be saved on a CNC machine
• No reversal of the spindle required
