Single Point Thread Mills

Hi, thread Mills generally have multiple thread forms along the the length as you can see in the cutwel link.
In the past I have used a indexable lathe screw cutting tool as a milling cutter, and this would effectively be a single point tool.

And these from Germany http://www.sorotec.de/shop/Cutting-T...illing-cutter/ delivery is fairly quick

Are those Carbide?

I think so, but I will check with Sorotec.

Yes the Sorotec thread mills are carbide.

Datron https://www.datron.de/de_de/cnc-frae...er.html#_c4992 and paul horn https://www.phorn.de/produkte/fraesen/ both in Germany making thread mills as well. The horn parts are for larger diametres. If you have thread tools for a lathe, then you can use these parts on the mill as well, if you can clamp it in a collet.
