A small inventory of thread cutting methods

In actual processing, the types of threads generally include: ordinary single thread, trapezoidal thread, special thread, special-shaped thread, etc. Among them, ordinary threads are the most widely used. Coarse threads are mostly used for connection, while fine threads are used for the connection of thin-walled parts or parts subject to variable load, vibration and impact load, and can also be used for mechanism fine-tuning. When machining ordinary threads, it is necessary to pay attention to the need for multiple cycle feeds during cutting, and the cutting depth must be reduced in accordance with a certain proportion each time.plastic machining

 If the cutting depth of each tool is the same, the force on the cutting edges on both sides of the thread turning tool will increase sharply as the material removal rate increases, resulting in a decrease in thread accuracy and tool damage. In the competition, internal threads and external threads are relatively common, and the processing is generally less difficult. The main attention should be paid to the calculation of the bottom of the thread.


Compared with ordinary threads, trapezoidal threads have longer length, larger pitch, deeper cutting depth, greater cutting force, higher precision requirements, and greater processing difficulties. The thread cutting methods of CNC lathes generally include: straight approach, oblique approach, staggered cutting, and grooving rough CNC cutting.



(1) Straight forward method. Refers to when the lathe is cutting, the Z-direction does not change when the linear motion is performed, and the X-direction feeds a cutting depth in stages. It is characterized by convenience, quickness, and high efficiency. Generally, ordinary threads with a small pitch can be used. However, because the two edges of the turning tool are cutting at the same time, the chip removal is not smooth, and the force is large, the cnc turning tool is easy to wear, and the chips will scratch the thread surface.



(2) Inclined method. It refers to the Z-direction feed and the X-direction also has linkage, forming a diagonal feed mode. At this time, the thread turning tool always has only one cutting edge to participate in the cutting, the chip removal is smoother, and the force and heat are less than the straight forward method. But when the thread depth is deep and the pitch is large, the phenomenon of knife sticking is easy to occur.



(3) Staggered cutting method. The thread turning tools are staggered in the direction parallel to the left and right side of the thread, respectively, until the bottom of the thread. It is very suitable for large thread cutting, but the programming is more complicated.

(4) Grooving rough cutting method. First, use a grooving tool smaller than the width of the thread turning tool head to rough cut a groove, and then use the thread turning tool for thread processing. Large-pitch threads are often used, but the operation and programming are extremely cumbersome.

Now we have very stable surface finish suppliers to assist us to do different surface finishes with stable and excellent quality. Some Frequently used surface finishes are Anodizing, Oxide, Nickel Plating, Chrome Plating, Gold / Silver Plating, Powder Coating, Zinc Plating, PVD Coating, Passivation, Heat Treatment, Electrochemical machining, Brushing, Polishing, Sandblasting, etc.
General Tolerance of Equipments
1. CNC Milling tolerance: +/-0.01mm
2. CNC turning tolerance: +/-0.01mm
3. Precision grinding tolerance: +/-0.005mm
4. EDM machining tolerance: +/-0.005mm
How to Control Quality?
1. Inspection by machinist himself who is responsible for a specific part machining.
2. First article part inspection by QA.
3. IPQC patrol inspection during production.
4. PQC inspection before shipping according to ISO9001 sampling inspection standard for large quantity production. And for small quantity, 100% full inspection.
5. Material Certificates and outgoing inspection reports could be provided.
Our CNC machine and swiss machining shop sets full and advanced inspection instruments such as CMM, projector, height instrument, industrial microscope, micrometer, calipers, thread gauges, pin gauges, block gauges, etc. so as to inspect all details on drawings and confirm quality is good and issue the ourgoing reports accordingly.
How to Start Working with Our Company?
1) Sending detailed RFQ with 2D and 3D drawings to through email to info@pintejin.com. General drawing formats like PDF/ STEP/IGES/X_T etc are accepted.
2) We check and confirm about materials, surface finish and quantiy, and evaluate. If any question, our sales engineer would double check with customers until everything is clear. We will quote accordingly if we are ok to make the parts with best quality. If no question and everything is clear, we send quotation with best prices within 24 hours. Our sales engineer team is online for 7/24 for offering customers the best cnc machining services.
3) We recommend to start from few pcs prototypes for approval at the beginning. If nothing wrong after customer’s test and approval, then we proceed to volume cnc manufacturing.
Some Tips for Customers
a. We accept Paypal payment of small amount payment for samples or small batch orders for building mutual trust at the beginning. General payment terms is 30% by wire transfer, and balance before shipping.
b. Delivery time for few pcs samples are generally 5 to 7 days, and 15 to 25 days for volume production. If the order quantity was too big, we would check and confirm delivery time sepertely.
c. Our company has concrete promise to all customers that if any quality problem caused by our factory, we would remake all parts for free or send money back.
Safe Packing Methods to Prevent Goods from Damage during Transportation
Due to long distance transportation to overseas countries, safe and strong packing is very important to gurantee the parts to be in good conditions when arriving at customer’s hand. We choose different packing materials according to different parts and quantity. Some commonly used packing materials are pp/bubble bag, oil paper, foam, blister tray, 5 layer carton, wood box, etc. See below some packing pictures.
