"Screw Thread Cutting" is a vintage guide to "threading", which refers
to the process of creating screw threads. More screw threads are
produced each year than any other machine component, and there are many
methods of creating threads, including subtractive methods (cutting and
grinding); deformative or transformative methods (rolling and forming;
moulding and casting), and additive methods (such as 3D printing). This
volume focuses on subtracting and transformative methods, making it a
useful reference guide for those with an interest in traditional methods
of making screws. Contents include: "Change Gears for Thread Cutting, by
Erik Oberg", "Kinks and Suggestions in Thread Cutting", and "Tables and
Formulas for Making Thread Tools, by A. L. Valentine, Erik Oberg, and
Jos. M. Stabel". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce
and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this
volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with
the original text and artwork.
