Tool Configuration
• Are there geometrical limitations in the
Machining Load / Application Stability part that requires small cutting forces,
such as thin walls, high overhang?

If small cutting edges are required due to geometrical limitations in the part, such as thin THREAD MILLING
walls, high overhang, etc., ISCAR recommends using either a single-point cutter or a cutter
with helix cutting edges, or to increase radial passes.

The table below defines the thread milling family / line according to the cutter’s
cutting geometry.
