Emuge-Franken USA has expanded its line of thread mills for challenging threading applications and materials such as nickel alloys, titanium, high-tensile-strength steels, hardened high-alloy steels, cast iron, cast aluminum and more.

The five Emuge solid carbide thread mills distinct tool families include:

• Threads-All family of thread mills that are well suited for demanding materials and industries such as aerospace, where nickel alloys, titanium and stainless steel are the norm. The family now includes the Max line of premium sub-micron grain solid carbide thread mills that are designed for maximum performance in high tensile strength and hardened materials from 44-66 HRC. Emuge has also added the new Headed line, featuring circular thread milling bars and bodies with exchangeable face inserts. The line is designed to provide a modular solution for milling larger thread dimensions in stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys, cast iron and hardened high alloy steels >25 HRC, as well as mold and tool steels.
• Thriller-style thread mills combine the drilling and thread milling process into one tool, eliminating the need for tool changes and saving machine tool carousel space. Thriller thread mills are said to be well suited for short-chipping cast aluminum alloys and cast iron. Thiller-Aero thread mills are designed for aerospace and nickel alloys, titanium and stainless steel materials. Emuge has added the Thriller-Max line to improve tool life and performance in hard-to-machine, high-tensile-strength materials of 44-66 HRC.
• Shur-Thread thread mills are full profile cutters offering high process stability in a range of challenging materials. Shur-Thread is designed to cut one thread size and pitch, requiring a single 360-degree cutting rotation to complete the full threading operation.
• Vario full-profile thread mills are manufactured to cut one specific pitch size, but can also produce more than one thread size for universal material applications. Emuge has added the Vario-Z external thread mills, which are designed to produce external threads in a wide range of materials and applications, as well as the Vario Skip tooth thread milling cutters with alternating tooth rows designed to reduce radial cutting forces and provide an option to remove the incomplete thread.
• Gigant-Ic carbide-insert-style thread mills facilitate quick setups and rapid changeovers when creating internal and external threads, right-hand and left-hand threads, as well as threads in very large holes. The Gigant-Ic family is suitable for cutting low- and high-alloyed steels up to 1,400 N/mm², stainless steel and cast materials, alloys including aluminum, copper, magnesium and titanium, as well as synthetics.
