Thread Turning

Thread production by turning operation is possible for external and internal threading.
The principle of thread production by turning operation is based on the constant linear THREAD TURNING
movement of the tool/insert relative to the rotational movement of the workpiece.
The geometry of the threading profile is identical to the cutting edge profile. On lathes or
turning stations, threads are cut into several passes, and after each pass the cutter moves
back to its original position. The number of passes is determined by the material of the
workpiece, type of cutter, threading type, requirements for accuracy, surface finish, etc.
ISCAR offers a wide range of tools and inserts for all types of threading.
