About this series
THR Solid Carbide Thread Mills
Superior threads versus tapping, coarse, fine or custom

RobbJack's THR solid carbide thread mills are used to produce precision threads at common thread pitches, or custom thread pitches if needed, with the same standard tool. They produce superior threads versus tapping operations and can be used to cut internal or external 60-degree threads. A single THR tool will make coarse, fine or custom threads. When relief is needed at the bottom of an internal threaded hole, use the matching RTHR series relief mill.
