Dormer Pramet has launched a comprehensive thread milling program to provide a reliable and versatile threading option.
\nAvailable under the Dormer brand, each of the new cutters is recommended for machining most materials, including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, titanium, nickel, copper, aluminium and plastics.
\nAn Alcrona Pro coating and solid carbide substrate provides a tough and wear resistant structure, offering security and reliability, as well as increased performance and longer tool life.
\nA total of ten versatile milling cutter (J2xx) families have been developed with a mix of popular thread forms including, M, MF, UNC, UNF, G (BSP) and NPT, with or without internal oil feed.
\nThread milling offers numerous advantages compared to conventional threading, including increased reliability, smaller chips \u2013 supporting continuous machining – improved tool life and accurate tolerance adjustment, whilst it is also suitable for dry machining.
\nThe same cutter can be used for many materials and diameters, as long as the pitch is the same, while Dormer\u2019s J200 and J205 ranges offer the additional possibility to chamfer, providing better quality and accuracy compared with conventional taps.
\nRicky Payling, Dormer Pramet\u2019s application specialist for rotary tools, said: \u201cThread milling is a relatively slow process with measurable time savings on larger diameters. However, the quality of finish and level of accuracy can greatly compensate for the speed of machining.
\n\u201cThe new range of thread milling cutters provides numerous options for the end-user, whether it\u2019s left or right hand internal threads for the vast majority of thread forms and for any material.
\n\u201cA 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 programme, to make the choice as easy as possible.\u201d
\nThe introduction of the thread milling cutters is part of a wider product launch by Dormer Pramet on 1 April 2015 \u2013 the first combined unveiling since Dormer and Pramet merged last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
