I have a job to do in 316 stainless. I have to make the following sizes of tapped holes.
1/8-27 npt
3/8-16
1/2-13
I want to thread mill vs. tapping to avoid breaking taps and trashing out an expensive part. I also believe that I can control size much better with cutter comp. and the finishes should be beautiful. I do not have any hands on experience with thread mills yet, which is why I am posting this.
The job is a small qty. Only 14 pcs. However it would be a repeat job if I quote it properly.
I need to locate reasonably price threadmills that would work.
Any tid bits of helpful info would be great, and very much appreciated.
Also how many threaded holes should I expect to get out of a typical thread mill.
