The diameter of a thread milling cutter is smaller than the drilled hole, and the cutter turns in an elliptical orbit to reduce cutting torque when compared with machine tapping. One of the most ...

The GI-100DT uses a series of front and backlit cameras to calculate a part’s height, profile, and inner and outer diameters. Fasteners are critical components in engineered systems and structures, ...

The strength of some internal threads is more sensitive to tap diameter than previously thought. • Cold-formed threads are no stronger than cut threads when holes are correctly sized. • Cut threads ...

Threaded fasteners are galvanized in specialized galvanizing facilities that centrifuge the fasteners to remove excess zinc from the threads. Australian Standard AS1214 recommends the obligatory ...

Historically, the threading of holes has been a fairly straightforward operation, usually performed close to the end of a part’s machining. Once the holes had been drilled, thread taps of the ...
