Are the screws difficult to machine?
Although all screw products are work hardened during the thread rolling process, they are readily machined. Carbide tooling is recommended for the best machined surface finish and fastest machining times. As with all other machining tasks, users are encouraged to experiment with speeds, feeds and tooling to obtain the desired results with the fastest machining times for the equipment being used. Production requirements should be run on rigid CNC machines capable of taking heavy cuts under high speeds and feeds. Threaded screw shafts provide an additional challenge as the cut is interrupted, however, with a little experimenting machining the roll threaded screw products offered in this catalog is usually not a problem.
