When you need to thread a hole, it may seem easiest to reach for the nearest right-size tap. After all, the threads will be identical in gage and will accommodate the type and size of external fastener threads. But even before drilling the hole, professional machinists consider the material being tapped, whether the hole is through or blind, and other variables before deciding whether to use a cut tap or a form tap.
Regal Cutting Tools can provide a corner radius on any in stock end mill in 5 days or less.
To improve the productivity of end milling, a corner radius design reduces chipping and corner wear which adds to greater productivity. Unless the part being milled has a requirement of a square cut, tools with a blended corner cutting action will allow more inches cut which reduces downtime for tool changes. There is inherently more strength behind the cutting face of an end mill with a radius.
Regal now offers this service on any in stock end mill, HSS, Cobalt or Carbide in five days or less from either our Illinois headquarters or our West Coast Distribution Center.
The combination of fast service and accurate grinding of radii from .005 to .250 depending on diameter, assures productivity and tool life. We provide tight tolerance on all ground tools to + – .0005 using high quality CNC equipment.
We can also provide a variety of coatings including but not limited to TiN, TiAlN, TiCN and ship in 7 days or less.
