Solid Carbide Thread Mills for General Purpose Machining

Niagara Cutter LLC (Troy, MI) has launched a new portfolio of solid-carbide thread mills that bring strength and process reliability to a broad range of general-purpose machining applications. Overall, this portfolio comprises thread mills for the cost effective, highly accurate production of Unified, National Pipe Tapered and Metric thread forms. With a vast selection of thread sizes, cutting diameters, cutting lengths, shank diameters and more, shops have well over 100 different tooling options from which to choose. All of the thread mills feature a standard AlCrN coating, but are also available with optional coatings of TiN, TiCN, TiAIN, AlTiN and CVD-diamond.
