Internal helical groove machining
Thread Content
I need an internal helical tube for experiments. I have a plexiglass rod with a diameter of 30, and I want to drill a hole with a diameter of 18, after which the internal helical grooves will be created. I’m not sure if there are any companies in Qingdao that can manufacture internal helical grooves. I would be very grateful if those who are aware of this could let me know.
It can be machined using a regular lathe; the key issues lie in the length of the helical groove and its pitch. If the length and pitch are too large, it becomes very difficult to machine it, and even if it is possible to do so, the costs will be high. It is best to consult a lathe operator.
The difficulty is too high; the diameter of the parts is too small. It’s hard for a drill bit with a 18mm diameter to get in, and when the diameter is too small, the rigidity of the drill bit is very poor
The question wasn’t expressed clearly; the length of the pipe should be specified before considering the possibility of processing it.
