While thread milling is a well-established process, some machine shops are still afraid to try it, fearing it is too complicated. “Thread milling is not a big mystery, but some shops are hesitant to ...

Threads can be machined with various processes, each with pros and cons. However, the growing complexity of manufactured parts and cost of workpieces present an ever-stronger case for orbital thread ...

A mechanistic approach for modeling the thread milling process is presented. The mechanics of cutting for thread milling is analyzed as an end milling process with modified cutting edge. The geometry ...
