Application - Metric thread

Step 1:
Drill out the damaged thread with the Mebux
HSS drill bit (C) to the bottom. Pay attention to
the direction of the hole

Use the Mebux fit milling cutter (D) to
countersink the hole until the depth stop is
resting on the workpiece.

Screw-in tool Thread cutter
The thread cutter (B) can now be used to cut a
new thread. Straight guidance in the bore hole
is important. Turn out the thread cutter (B) once
the full drilling depth has been reached and
blow out the chips.

Step 4:
Noticeable resistance occurs when the threa-
ded sleeve has been fully inserted into the
thread using the lubricated turning tool (A).
Continue to turn the tool until the turning-in re-
sistance drops perceptibly. Only this method
ensures that the sleeve is pressed into the thre-
ads of the work piece.
