What kind of thread tool is this?

[urbanrifleman]

I want one of these.

 

[ridgeway]

Ar Warner makes that style. I have one, but use carbide instead of their HSS inserts. There are other manufacturers that make same tool.

They call it “on edge” threading tool as opposed to a “laydown”

I use the Arthur Warner turned upside down and I thread in reverse (away from shoulder).

Do you know where the tool holder is?

You can get everything you need direct from warner.

What you really want are pitch specific inserts. Much nicer finished product.

Get Kennametal Top Notch inserts with positive rake. I had one like your picture from Valenite and threw it away. It was way too wide to get close to a shoulder.

I love kennametal stuff. For the slow manual threading we do, The carmex inserts seem to leave the best finish.

Could you provide a picture?

This is actually the one i use the most. Its a laydown version but it threads like butter in our application and the full profile inserts are perfect to let you know when your thread is perfect instead of just going past on accident

I use laydown full profile from Iscar. IC908 coating works well at manual speeds.

I have the AW Warner tool like in the OP’s picture. Used it once. I prefer my Iscar laydown for barrel threading.

I got all the warner hss insert tools one time and none of them worked very well. I sold them on here and the buyer said they worked fine for him

Carmex makes a carbide insert that is rated for tough SS and SLOW SPEEDS!

This is what I use. Mainly 16 tpi inserts where I regularly get 50 barrels per corner. They come pitch specific where the main thing that changes is the nose radius. The finer the pitch, the sharper the radius. I have 32tpi inserts that I use for 20tpi and finer. I have two holders and use one for threading and the other for grooving. Here are some MSC numbers:
1/2 inch shank holder 88228697
16tpi insert 55317549
0.094 groove insert 31680242

Anything manual, especially the lighter 12, 13, 14" machines, I prefer inserts with positive geometry and are usually sharp. Nine chances out of ten the light machines can't take full advantage of insert geometry. Hard to get the depth of cut and feed to break chips...

Yep. You can thread with them at 20 RPM and still have a perfect finish.

I want one of these.

I've got this one you can have for $45 shipped with a couple of Ti coated inserts. Only been used a couple of times. It's 3/4". Might have more inserts but that's all I found immediately.

More than machine rigidity being a problem I find setup / work holding rigidity the real issue with barrel machining overall. There is a reason I will often check bore position after heavy cutting load operations before moving onto the next.
