Thread-Cutting Methods: A treatise on the operation and use of various tools and machines

The universal use of the screw thread, either as a fastening device or for transmitting motion from one part of a madiine to another, combined with the numerous conditions under which it is used, has led to the development of many different kinds of tools and machines for formmg screw threads. These tools vary from the hand-operated tap or die to the specialized semiautomatic and fully automatic machines capable of threading duplicate parts with considerable rapidity. While much has been published on thread-cutting practice, most of this material has been of a miscellaneous character, and there is evidently need for a general treatise covering the various machines and auxiliary equipment used for this important branch of machine work.
