TungMeister to Include Thread Milling Exchangeable Heads

Tungaloy now offers a thread milling head line for TungMeister – a high efficient exchangeable-head endmill series, to further expand its flexibility in a wide range of thread milling markets.

Thread milling creates threads with the helical interpolation movements of a tool in machining centers and multi-tasking machines. Unlike the conventional tapping method, thread milling produces low cutting forces and facilitates smoother chip evacuation. As far as the pitch matches, one multipoint thread mill can machine a wide range of diameters; while one single-point mill can address a variety of pitches and diameters, both which help to minimize tool inventory. The tool indexing is made simple due to its modularity, substantially reducing machine downtime and improving cycle times.
