Tapered Thread Mill
Tapered thread mill for NPT, BSPT, and G thread forms on CNC machining centres with helical interpolation.
Description
Product Overview
The tapered thread mill is a specialist tool for milling standard tapered threads, including NPT, BSPT, and G tapered metric threads. Unlike conventional taps and dies, it uses helical interpolation inside the workpiece to produce a thread with high dimensional accuracy.
It allows tapered threads to be produced in hard materials, lead-free materials, and exotic alloys where conventional threading tools may be difficult or unsuitable to use.
