MIRANDA TOOLS Right Hand K20 External Threading Tool

MIRANDA TOOLS Right Hand K20 External Threading Tool external threading tool is a cutting tool used in machining processes to create threads on the outside surface of a cylindrical workpiece. Typically made from high-speed steel (HSS), carbide, or other durable materials, these tools feature precision-ground cutting edges designed to efficiently remove material and form threads with accuracy.

External threading tools come in various shapes and sizes, including single-point cutting tools and thread-cutting dies. Single-point tools are commonly used in lathes and CNC turning centers, where they engage with the rotating workpiece to cut threads progressively. Thread-cutting dies, on the other hand, are used for mass production and are applied to stationary workpieces, with the die being rotated to create threads.

These tools incorporate specific geometries, such as thread pitch, angle, and relief angles, tailored to the desired thread specifications. Advanced coatings or treatments may be applied to enhance tool life and performance, especially when working with challenging materials like hardened steel or exotic alloys.

External threading tools play a crucial role in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to plumbing and construction, where threaded components are ubiquitous. Their precise operation and versatility make them indispensable for creating threads of various sizes and forms, ensuring the seamless assembly of mechanical parts and structures.
