Emuges's series of miniature solid carbide thread mills are optimally designed for easy machining of difficult materials such as stainless steels, titanium, K-monel, hastelloy and inconel.
The new thread mills eliminate the possibility and consequences of tap breakage. Thread mills are available in both one-flute and three-flute version, with the latter being especially useful for high-volume output needs. The new thread mills remove costly manual operations by eliminated the need for hand tapping during full bottom threading applications. Bottom threading can be performed to within 1 pitch. The miniature thread mills function highly efficiently with externally supplied coolant and eliminate the need for thread cutting oil, so parts and coolant reservoirs are not contaminated, as can be experienced when using a tapping method in difficult materials.
