If you are having products delivered to an address outside the UK, you will not be subject to the 20% VAT (UK Sales Tax). Therefore, please divide the GBP price displayed on our product listings by 1.2 (£120.00 ÷ 1.2 = £100.00 export price).

Returns after 14 days for unwanted, incorrectly ordered, or unauthorized items may incur a restocking fee of 20% or £10, whichever is greater.

Not only is the determination of borehole diameter important but also the rotary speed for drilling of the bore is an important calculation. The formula for this is as follows:

When it comes to external threading on parts with relatively greater lengths, turning is the most cost-effective and efficient method.

With discussion on basics about thread machining covered, let us move ahead onto the crux of this article i.e. how to effectively machine threads?

Several governing bodies classify threads internationally including but not limited to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

An internal thread, also commonly known as a female thread, is machined concave in surface profile using a tap, carbide single lip, or multipoint thread milling cutters. The immense role of internal threads in a part is to insert a screw or any fastener which will link the part to another to form an assembly.

Last but not least is the traditional die-cutting methodology. For most mass-produced parts, a reasonable or average level of thread accuracy is required. This method involves hand-labor and mainly comprises of three types of threading dies:

With the discussion of standards, let us move on to the concept of internal and external thread machining with in-depth discussion in the context of applications.

Stay tuned to this article till the very end since we will discuss the pros, cons, and comparison of using various cutters for thread machining.

Thus, for you as our reader, we would deliver the concept of thread machining as comprehensively as possible in this article. This information would be vital for you to choose your next CNC machining service provider wisely.

Before moving onto thread machining, it is vital to calculate the bore diameter in case of internal threading or cylinder diameter in case of external threading. We refer to it as the minor diameter (D) and its calculation is as follows:

By definition, a thread is formulated by a helical profile that is continuous in nature. Several uniform sections on the surface of a cylinder or cone generate this profile. Since the key role of a thread is to act as a fastener between two separate parts, it can exist in both external and internal thread profiles.

After thoroughly describing the process of thread machining, we think it would be icing on the cake to let you know about some key design aspects which our engineers review upon reception of an order for thread machining on our CNC machining centers. Let’s review some!

With a rise in complex and intricate assemblies in the world of engineering, the role of threads has become indispensable. Everywhere from your water bottle to an engine assembly, threads are existent.

External threading is generally performed by turning operations and is much easier to carry out compared to internal thread machining.

Railwayscenics, a family-run business since 2008, is known for first-class service and high-quality, affordable products for hobbyists and modellers.

During the process of drilling, it is important to use cutting oil in the case of steel material, the spirit in the case of aluminum alloys, and petroleum or colza oil in the case of chromium-nickel alloys. The last step is to ensure removing of chips and excess material using compressed air or a soft brush.

Metric standard tables can provide the values for runout depth or the following formula can be referred to for small threads:

An external thread or male thread comprises a screw thread on the external surface of a cone or cylinder. Commonly known external threaded parts include screws, bolts, studs, and screw plugs.

You may find several descriptions of thread and thread machining. However, we will use pictorial descriptions to make understanding of this concept buttery smooth.

The most widely adapted thread machining standard is Unified Threads Standard (UTS) issued by ASME. This standard is further classified into UNC and UNF thread standards signifying coarse and fine thread machining respectively for various applications.

The most important consideration for thread machining by turning is to ensure that the feed rate must correspond precisely with the required pitch of the thread. We w­­­­ill focus on the four feeding methods during turning operations to effectively deliver the concept of thread machining by turning. The four methods are:

10 piece large shank micro drill bit set which includes one of each of the following sizes 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2mm. The large shank design enhances stability and minimizes wobbling during use, resulting in more controlled and precise drilling and also reduces the risk of drill breakage allowing the drill bit to be used in a wider range of power tools without the need for a chuck converter. These large shank tungsten carbide micro drill bit is ideal for the delicate drilling of hard materials for model engineering, jewellery making and model making. It is especially suited for drilling printed circuit boards made of fibreglass as printed circuit boards require a tough micro drill and these tungsten carbide drills will out perform similar high speed steel HSS drill bits. These high grade carbide drills remain sharp for much longer than standard steel drills when drilling harder materials including printed circuit boards (PCB). Using a high speed is recommended to produce good quality holes and avoid breakage. These drill bits are fitted with drill collars for ease of use and identification and colours may differ from image. The set comes in a convenient storage case, keeping your drill bits organized and easily accessible. Replacement drill bits are also available.

In this article, we comprehensively reviewed various dimensions of the vast field of thread machining. Yes, we know that this knowledge might be quite technical for the layman. That is why we are here!

This method incorporates a threaded milling cutter with the profile of the required thread contour. The cutter practically imprints its surface contours onto the part during machining. There are two types of cutters as discussed earlier i.e. single-lip cutters and multipoint cutters.
