New Product Announcements From: 4/4/2008 Modern Machine Shop With the TM25 thread mill system, one tool can be used for both left- and right-handed threading applications resulting in faster cycle times and more consistent performance in demanding thread-milling applications, says manufacturer, Kennametal.

With a steel body and carbide inserts, the thread mills feature longer edge inserts and have two cutting edges per insert for better economy on the parallel thread forms.

While suitable for internal and external threading on many workpiece materials, the thread mills are designed for use in general engineering, automotive, aerospace and MTI applications.
