THREAD MILLING

Thread milling is a versatile, cost-effective process for anyone cutting a variety of threads, parts and workpiece materials on the same machine. Our solid carbide thread mills, multi-tooth indexable insert cutters and Threading Wizard software make it easy to adopt this process and produce high-quality threads with excellent form and finish.

In general, thread milling generates superior burr-free surface finishes and reduces tool inventory costs. Shops can use the same tool for both left and right-hand threads as well as for different thread tolerances. A broad range of materials and hole diameters can also be thread milled with the same tool. Unlike tapping,the threads produced through milling can be machined to full depth at high accuracy, even in hardened materials.

Threading Wizard

This software takes the guesswork out of thread milling operations by eliminating calculations and simplifying the programming process. With minimal data input, the software selects the right tool for the job, identifies the best operating parameters and then downloads the information to the CNC.

396.18/19/20 - INSERT CUTTERS


Seco 396.18/19/20 thread mills are versatile, cost-effective process tools for anyone facing a variety of threads, parts and workpiece materials on the same machine. Multi-tooth indexable insert cutters use a double sided multi-tooth insert usable above Ø14 mm for both internal and external threads. Read More Note the 396.20 has only one cutting side usable from Ø70 mm. The mills have up to 9 inserts for faster production time. A 40-mm insert is available with different thread profiles and pitches. Precision ground for perfect thread forms, it is available in our tough and durable F30M grade. Read Less



THREADMASTER - SOLID THREAD MILLS


Threadmaster™ thread mills provide high thread quality at low cost per hole. Machining up to 100 percent depth, Threadmasters have high helix angles that reduce cutting forces and eliminate chatter. Read More They feature an excellent carbide substrate and TiCN-coating for high toughness and wear resistance milling aluminum, steel, stainless steel and cast iron. For high-temperature alloys, versions with through-coolant holes further improve chip evacuation, tool life and surface finish. Threads range from M4 to M20 in M, MF, UNC, UNF, NPT, NPTF and BSP thread profiles.

Threadmaster – H thread mills are designed for hardened materials from 45 – 60 HrC. Threads range from M4 – M16 in M and MF thread profiles.

Threadmaster – 900 thread mills are designed for steel and stainless steel with a tensile strength of >900 N/mm2. Threads range from M4 – M14 in M and MF thread profiles.

Threadmaster – Mini thread mills are designed for thread sizes from M1 – M2.5 in hardened materials from 45 – 60 HrC. Read Less



THREADMASTER - DRILLING THREAD MILLS


Drilling Threadmaster is a multi-tool producing a thread by drilling and chamfering in a single pass for high thread quality at a low cost per hole. Short chips are effectively evacuated at the spiral flutes.Read More These tools feature an excellent carbide substrate and TiAlN-coating for high toughness and wear resistance milling aluminum and cast iron. Threads range from M4 to M16 in M, MF, UNC, UNF and BSP thread profiles. Read Less



THREADMASTER II - GENERAL PURPOSE THREAD MILLS


This general-purpose thread mill generates high-tolerance, full-thread profiles in common materials. Available in three thread pitches as well as 2xD and 3xD options, Read More it can be used with EPB™ shrinkfit holders and EPB 5672 high-precision collet chucks for low run-out. Threads range from M4 to M16 with UNC and UNF profiles. Read Less



335.14 - MINI DISC - THREAD MILLING CUTTERS


Generate precision threads in holes as deep as 106 mm with Seco’s new single raw Disc Mill 335.14 interchangeable threading heads and matching holder shanks. You will also be able to boost processing speed and versatility, as each head performs both chamfering and threading operations. Additionally, performing two operations with the same tool helps reduce required tooling inventories.

Other threading tools are limited in terms of either thread size and/or maximum hole depths they can thread. The new heads, unlike standard thread mills, are single raw disc mills that circular interpolate an entire hole depth and create threads pitch by pitch, which allows for greater achievable depths. The cutting action of the new heads also keeps chip sizes to a minimum and ensures taper-free deep-hole threading.

Smaller, less powerful machine tools can now easily generate big threads because the new heads cut with a single point. The heads thus require less machine power and torque.

Range Overview:


  • Both carbide and steel shank types
  • Internal coolant capability
  • Over 31 different carbide-coated heads
  • Applicable for all workpiece materials
  • Head threads and diameters
    - Metric from 11.7 mm to 21.7 mm and with partial profile from pitch 1 mm – 6 mm (14 pcs)
    - Whitworth full profi le heads from 11.7 mm to 17.7 mm and pitch 11, 14 and 19 tpi (G3/8-1”) (7 pcs)
    - UN at 17.7 mm with pitch 24 to 6 tpi (10 pcs)

Key Benefits:


  • Capability to produce deeper and more accurate threads
  • High process stability and reliability
  • Increased versatility and reduced overall tool costs through interchangeability of heads
  • Effective chip control
