What is the QUICK-THREAD threading insert?

QUICK-THREAD is a multi-tooth threading insert designed for lathe applications, capable of machining both external (OD) and internal (ID) threads with significantly fewer passes than conventional inserts.

How does QUICK-THREAD reduce the number of passes?

It features three specially designed teeth: the first for roughing, the second for medium to semi-finishing, and the third for final finishing. This design allows complete threading in just 1–2 passes, compared to 4 passes required by typical inserts.

What are the benefits of using QUICK-THREAD inserts?

Benefits include reduced cycle times, increased productivity, improved surface finish, longer tool life, and significant cost savings in machining operations.

Can QUICK-THREAD inserts be used with standard holders?

Yes. QUICK-THREAD inserts can be mounted on standard ISO holders and work optimally with JETCUT holders for pinpoint coolant delivery.

Is there any special requirement when using QUICK-THREAD?

A larger thread relief is needed to accommodate the multi-tooth design upon exit, ensuring smooth operation and precise thread profiles.

NEW Reduced Number of Passes When Performing Threading Applications on Lathes

QUICK-THREADis a multi-tooth threading insert designed to reduce the number of passes required when machining OD and ID threading applications on a lathe.
These threading inserts can be mounted on standard holders (ISO inserts) with JETCUTholders for pinpointed coolant.

The first tooth of the QUICK-THREADinsert is designed for roughing, while the second tooth is for medium to semi-finishing, removing most of the material.
The last tooth is designed to finish the thread to the required dimensions.
QUICK-THREAD's multiple teeth allo w for a higher metal removal rate, resulting in faster cycle times and overall cost savings, while also improving surface finish and tool life.

It offers increased productivity, reduced cycle times, longer tool life, improved surface finish, and requires fewer number of passes.
This leads to tremendous cost savings.

Larger thread relief is required to clear multiple teeth upon exit. Compared to competitor's lines, QUICK-THREADrequires only 1 to 2 passes to obtain a perfect threading profile, whereas competitors may require 4 passes.
