b'So Exoticachieves a better thread quality than tapping thanks to chip control.For instance, blind-hole tapping exotic materials is a major issue in particular because in most cases taps make long, stringy chips that love to wrap around taps and potentially lead to breakage and scrap, he said. It is one of the most difficult application issues to over-come with a tap because it is so limited in what can be changed. With a thread mill, you dont have that prob-lem, because it is designed to move in and out of the cut very fast. And you dont have any issues with chips, because they are very small and manageable and they flush out of the hole very easy.Still, deep-hole threading can be problematic, cre-ating excess tool pressure, heat buildup and tool de-flection. Unlike tapping, in which forces are distributed 360 around the circumference of a tap, thread milling doesnt have the same engagement.Emuge The radial load is a fraction of a tapping operation, These tools are available in two-times-diameter lengths and haveStrauchen said.coolant-fed options starting at 6.35 mm (0.25") dia.
