A thread cutter is a tool used for cutting threads into materials such as metal or wood. It typically consists of a sharp cutting edge or blade that is used to create precise grooves or ridges, allowing for the formation of threads.
-
Thread cutters come in various forms, including taps and dies for creating internal and external threads, thread mills for milling threads, and thread chasers for repairing or restoring damaged threads.
-
Consider factors such as the type and size of threads needed, the material being worked on, and the desired level of precision. Consult with machining experts or refer to manufacturer guidelines for recommendations on selecting the appropriate thread cutter for your specific application.

A saw blade is a cutting tool with a toothed edge used in various types of saws to cut through materials such as wood, metal, plastic, and other substances.
-
There are various types of saw blades, including circular saw blades, band saw blades, jigsaw blades, reciprocating saw blades, and hacksaw blades, each designed for specific cutting tasks and materials.
-
The operating principle of a saw blade involves the rotation or reciprocating motion of the blade while its teeth make contact with the material being cut. The teeth engage with the material and remove material in small increments, guided by the motion of the saw.

A reamer is a cutting tool used in machining operations to precisely enlarge and smooth the internal diameter of a pre-drilled hole.
-
There are various types of reamers, including hand reamers, machine reamers, adjustable reamers, chucking reamers, and expansion reamers, each designed for specific applications and workpiece materials.
-
The operating principle of a reamer involves rotating the tool while applying axial pressure to enlarge and smooth the internal diameter of a pre-drilled hole. The cutting edges of the reamer remove small amounts of material from the hole's surface, gradually increasing its diameter to the desired size.
