These helical-flute thread mills have an EXO coating, which is a multilayered TiAlN coating with a very smooth finish that provides better wear resistance than a standard TiAlN coating. EXO-coated thread mills can be used at high speeds and withstand high temperatures. Carbide thread mills offer excellent wear resistance, heat resistance, and hardness.,Helical-flute thread mills have spiral flutes that distribute the chip load as the thread mill removes material to cut threads into an existing hole or onto the external surface of a part. They provide a smoother cut than straight-flute or single-profile thread mills and are used to create threads on tough or thin-walled materials. Helical-flute thread mills can create internal threads of the same pitch in a range of hole diameters, eliminating the need to change tools when threading multiple holes of different sizes. Thread mills are only usable in CNC machines that have helical interpolation capability.
Since 2002, FAO has been working to provide technical, emergency and resilience assistance to the most vulnerable, protecting agricultural livelihoods and food security.
