Threading via Intercon

Post by ShaAli »

Hello,

As I am learning to use Intercon, I was hoping if there is tutorial on how to do threading on mill with intercon ? Keith's part tutorial was very helpful in learning.

Thank you.

Tapping or helical thread milling?

Threading using endmills in the mill rather than a tap. Hope this make sense

Thank you for your help.

For thread milling, you must use threadmills.

This is Intercon for a single point threadmill, pretty simple to dial in.

Most of the thread mill manufacturers have a web page showing suggested feeds and speeds for their threadmills.

Because this is circular motion, actual feeds are much faster than linear feed rates so you need to adjust feedrates accordingly.
