I am looking at a job with a welded in .9 diameter boss that we will be molding urethane to. Then after molding I need to drill .6 deep and then I need .45 deep of 1/2-13 threads in the boss. We cannot put in threads before over-molding. Due to the welding of the 1018 .9 diameter X .75 tall boss I feel this will be on the hard side at the bottom near the weld, and tap life will be shortened. So I am looking at thread milling. Any help or suggestions from someone that does thread milling I would appreciate it. To start I will be doing 400 holes and it should grow from there. I will be using a Mazak 510 or a Mazak 500. Thank you
