Thread mills are utilized to produce internal and external threads utilizing helical milling to produce the desired thread profile. Thread mills are typically carbide, and smaller in diameter than their corresponding tap would be, thus enabling them to fit within the ID of the pre-drilled hole. 3-axis CNC machines are required to use thread mills.

Thread Milling: How – To Guide
OSG’s EXOCARB® Thread Mills have been developed for thread milling on a 3-axis CNC Controlled machine tool. Thread is processed by advancing one pitch feed per revolution in the axial direction, utilizing the planet-like rotation and revolution movements of the tool. Internal and external thread, right or left hand threads can all be produced with this one tool, simply by changing th direction of rotation and/or feed.
The translation between the sdtart and the finish of the milling operation must be smooth, and the appropriate amount of feed is essential for minimizing milling resistance. There are many different methods for using this tool, but our research has shown that this technique provides the most precise and efficient operation.
