Thread milling and tapping

Our engineers go through a mental checklist on a customer visit with the security and consistency of the operation being their premium concern.

In thread turning applications, we consider a range of geometries and insert coating as well as materials before recommending the right product from our thread turning tool range.

In thread milling applications, we consider how to produce highly accurate threads in difficult to machine materials before recommending the right product from our thread milling tool range.

In tapping applications, we take into account chip control and the challenges of working with exotic material before recommending the right product from our range of taps.
