EXCLUSIVELY STOCKING
the thread turning process
The Thread turning tool generates a thread on the workpiece. There are two types: external and internal thread turning.
External: This is often easier and less demanding on the tool, with multiple methods able to achieve the end result. However, external threading requires the feed rate to be equal to the pitch of the thread. Likewise, vibration from the long tool overhangs and slender components must be avoided.
Internal: This is more demanding due to the high need for efficient chip evacuation, and because the tools will often need to be longer and more slender.
