The company has developed a thread whirling attachment that operates on the counter or subspindle. This attachment was designed to facilitate the whirling of larger-size threads. The company's larger machines accommodate part diameters up to 32 mm.

The ability to machine the thread in counter operations allows the end user to manufacture threaded parts without performing secondary operations in most cases. Since the thread is being cut in the subspindle while the main spindle is producing the next part, the threading cycle time is free and thereby increasing throughput.
