PROCNCTOOL offers cylindrical pipe thread cutters in a range of sizes to accommodate different threading requirements. These cutters are available in sizes that conform to standard BSP(G) specifications, ensuring compatibility with various pipe dimensions. Specific size details, such as diameter and thread pitch, can be found in the product listings or technical datasheets provided on the website. This range of sizes ensures that users can select the appropriate cutter for their specific threading tasks, ensuring precise and efficient operations.
The cylindrical pipe thread cutters from PROCNCTOOL are designed to be compatible with a wide variety of CNC machines. They adhere to standard shank sizes and geometries, making them suitable for use with most CNC lathes and machining centers. However, it is essential to verify the specific requirements of your CNC machine to ensure compatibility. Consulting the machine’s manual or contacting PROCNCTOOL’s technical support can provide additional assurance that the cutters will function correctly with your equipment.
The lifespan of PROCNCTOOL’s cylindrical pipe thread cutters depends on several factors, including the material being threaded, the cutting conditions, and the maintenance of the cutters. Typically, tungsten steel thread cutters offer a long service life due to their hardness and wear resistance. With proper usage and regular maintenance, these cutters can maintain their performance over extended periods, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Specific lifespan data can vary, but regular monitoring and appropriate usage can significantly extend the operational life of these tools.
PROCNCTOOL offers cylindrical pipe thread cutters with various advanced coatings to enhance their performance and durability. Common coatings include:
- Titanium Nitride (TiN): Increases hardness and wear resistance.
- Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN): Provides superior wear resistance and reduces friction.
- Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN): Suitable for high-speed applications, offering excellent thermal stability.
- Aluminum Chromium Nitride (AlCrN): Known for high hardness and oxidation resistance.
Yes, the cylindrical pipe thread cutters from PROCNCTOOL are designed to be versatile and can be used on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tungsten steel composition of the cutters, combined with advanced coatings like TiN, TiCN, and TiAlN, ensures that they can handle the demands of cutting through various materials including steel, aluminum, and copper alloys. This versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, ensuring high performance and durability across different types of materials.
PROCNCTOOL offers the option for custom sizes and specifications to meet specific customer requirements. If the standard sizes and specifications do not meet your needs, you can contact their technical support or sales team to discuss customization options. This may include modifications in diameter, thread pitch, and other parameters to ensure the thread cutters are tailored to your precise machining needs. Customization ensures that the tools can be optimized for specialized applications, enhancing performance and efficiency.
The dimensions of the package for a single cylindrical pipe thread cutter typically depend on the size of the cutter itself. Generally, packaging dimensions are designed to provide adequate protection during shipping and handling. A typical package might measure around 150mm x 50mm x 50mm, but specific dimensions can vary. Detailed packaging information, including exact dimensions, can usually be found in the product listing or by contacting PROCNCTOOL directly. Proper packaging ensures the cutter arrives in optimal condition, ready for immediate use.
The weight of a single cylindrical pipe thread cutter varies based on its size and specifications. On average, a standard-sized tungsten steel thread cutter might weigh between 200 grams to 500 grams. For precise weight information, referring to the specific product details or contacting PROCNCTOOL is recommended. Knowing the weight is crucial for handling, storage, and calculating shipping costs, ensuring you can manage logistics efficiently for your machining operations.
The recommended cutting speed and feed rate for cylindrical pipe thread cutters depend on the material being machined and the specific cutter size and coating. Generally, for tungsten steel cutters with coatings like TiN or TiAlN, a cutting speed of 50-150 meters per minute (m/min) is suitable for ferrous materials, while non-ferrous materials might allow for higher speeds up to 250 m/min. The feed rate should be adjusted according to the material hardness and desired thread quality, typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 millimeters per revolution (mm/rev). Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for optimal performan
