Part machining services include prototype machining and machining threads.

Modern manufacturing requires three basic processing capabilities: high-precision parts processing, rapid prototyping services, and special processing threads for assembly of key components.

Difference between External and Internal Threads

Let's quickly understand this basic difference. External threads are usually found on screws and bolts, while internal threads are found in components you design and manufacture. Internal threads achieve connections by locking external threads (such as screws and bolts).

In your technical drawings, it is important to know how to recognize the difference between external and internal threads.

What are the main parameters for indicating threads?

Thread profile: Common thread profiles include United Nations (UNC) and Metric (M), etc.

Thread type: In different thread series, you will encounter multiple thread types, such as UNC and UNF for unified threads, and M and MJ for metric threads.

Nominal diameter/major diameter/thread size: These terms are used to indicate the size of the thread, specifically the major diameter of the thread.

Pitch: The distance a point moves in one rotation along the axis.

Depth: The depth of the thread cut into the hole, which can be a through hole or a blind hole.

Allowances: The allowable tolerance range of thread fit.

Class fit/tolerance/allowance: Defines the tolerance range of thread size, including major diameter, minor diameter and pitch diameter, as well as internal or external threaded components.

We recommend using standard drill bit sizes, as custom tooling costs considerably and increases production time.

What are blind and through holes?

When cutting threads, an important consideration is whether you need to drill a blind hole or a through hole. A blind hole is a hole that does not pass through the entire part, so its depth is clearly specified. In contrast, a through hole is a hole that penetrates the surface of the component and has a depth equal to the thickness of the wall it passes through.
