Tools for Milling Machines
Thread Mills
Thread mills are very versatile; multiple diameters with the same thread pitch can be milled with the same tool as well as right and left hand threads. One of the largest advantages it has over taps is the very low horsepower required. This makes thread mills great for small milling machines. In-stock thread milling tools are available in various geometries to maximize thread cutting performance in demanding applications including, straight, helical, staggered, long reach, coolant through and single profile styles. Thread mills also work well for STI thread applications.
Features tools with one of the following thread forms: UN, UNF, UNEF, UNC, UNJ, NPT, NPTF, ISO Metric, BSPP, BSPT, Acme, Stub Acme, NPS/NPSF.

Specialty Tools
The specialty tools group is the most diverse and comprised of unique tools for milling versatility.
The helical chamfer mill reduces cutting forces considerably compared to straight flute versions. Engraving tools, a top seller, come in a large variety of angles. Corner rounding end mills have a double-ended design that works well in a wide variety of materials. Drill mills can be used for milling, chamfering, and light spotting applications. Spotting drills, with a precise point angle for true centering, is a valuable first step in the hole making process.
Features: End Mills, Spotting Drills, Corner Rounding End Mills, Drill Mills, and Helical Chamfer Mills
