How It Works
Thread Repair with Multiple Pass Thread Chasing
Milltronics' multiple pass thread chasing feature is ideal for applications to thread or re-thread pipe on our turning centers. Job shops and oil field shops can benefit by salvaging damaged pipe threads.
This feature can be factory or field installed; available for Flat Bed Lathes ML16 through ML40 and Slant Bed Lathes SL 6, SL10 and SL12. Contact us to discuss whether this option can make a difference for your application. Video shows part with damaged threads being turned down, extending threads. Take a closer look.
