Threading Operations: Basic Knowledge and Setup

This learning path aims at giving an overview of the different threading methods such as thread turning, thread milling and tapping, including the different techniques or tips that should be used to carry out those operations.

An insight on the main characteristics and critical aspects of each one of the previous listed operations is given, together with a presentation of the more widespread available systems, tools and inserts, pointing out the advantages/disadvantages of each one in relation with the final desired quality or productivity constraints.

Guidelines will be also given for the selection and management of the machining tools and their related machining strategies, eventually exploiting interactive tools that can be found online or downloaded as applications on mobile devices.
