Threadmill cutter range taps market

A series of threadmills from Dormer Pramet includes a total of 10 versatile milling cutter families (J2xx) spanning a mix of popular thread forms, including, M, MF, UNC, UNF, G (BSP) and NPT, with or without internal oil feed. An Alcrona Pro coating and solid carbide substrate provide a tough and wear-resistant structure. Available under the Dormer brand, each of the cutters is recommended for machining most materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, nickel, copper, aluminium and plastics.

Dormer's J200 and J205 ranges offer the additional possibility to chamfer, providing better quality and accuracy compared with conventional taps.

"Threadmilling is a relatively slow process, although offers measurable time savings on larger diameters. However, the quality of finish and level of accuracy can greatly compensate for the speed of machining," says Ricky Payling, Dormer Pramet's application specialist for rotary tools.

"A controlled machine that can make circular paths is required, but our online product selector will suggest the most appropriate thread milling cutter with the relevant data and CNC program to make the choice as easy as possible," he adds.
