Multi-Tooth Threading Inserts for Decreased Cycle Times
Multi-tooth thread turning inserts are designed to reduce the number of passes required when machining OD and ID threading applications on a lathe. This is achieved by utilizing multiple teeth (2-3) as opposed to standard single point thread turning inserts which utilize only one tooth.
The first tooth is for roughing and semi-finishing which removes the majority of material. The last tooth is designed to finish the thread to the required dimensions according to the thread standard. Multiple teeth allow for a higher metal removal rate, in turn resulting in faster cycle times and overall cost savings.
Features and Benefits
• Increased productivity
• Reduced cycle times
• Longer tool life
• Improved surface finish
• Fewer number of passes required
• Tremendous cost savings
• Larger thread relief required to clear multiple teeth upon exit
• Not recommended for thin-walled applications due to tool pressure caused by multi-tooth inserts
