CNC Instructor Matt Schmelzer talks about threadmilling and illustrates how to program a threadmilling operation on a CNC machine. NWTC CNC Machining There are many different types of tools that you can use to achieve threadmilling applications. In this video, Matt walks through a couple different options. One being an HSS cutting form tool with the pitch of the threads ground into the flute. The second cutting tool is a universal style thread mill, using a top notch carbide insert which will cu
