Thread turning inserts
Threading inserts are specially designed cutting tools used in industry to precisely and efficiently create threads in workpieces. They are available in various profiles and sizes to produce a variety of thread forms and sizes including metric, UN (Unified National), Whitworth, trapezoidal and round threads, among others.
The 'indexing' feature of these inserts means they have multiple cutting edges. This extends tool life as a worn cutting edge can be replaced simply by rotating the insert to a fresh edge. This not only increases tool life, but also reduces downtime and operating costs.
Threading inserts can be made of different materials such as carbide, cermet, ceramic or even polished diamond, depending on the specific machining requirements. They offer high precision and repeatability, making them an optimal solution for threading in mass production.
In addition, these inserts can also have special coatings to further increase their wear resistance and tool life. With their precise and efficient performance characteristics, threading inserts help increase productivity while ensuring the quality and consistency of the end product.
