CNC Threading Service
CNC threading is a way to make precise screw threads using computer-controlled machines. At Istar Machining, we create perfect threads on many types of parts. Our machines follow exact instructions to cut spiral grooves into metal, plastic, and other materials.
Think of threads like the spirals on a screw or inside a nut. They need to match perfectly to work well. Our CNC machining service uses special tools to make threads that meet strict standards.

Materials We Work With
We can make threads in almost any material. Here’s what we commonly use:
Metal Materials | Plastic Materials | Special Materials |
Stainless Steel | PEEK | Titanium |
Aluminum | Delrin | Inconel |
Brass | Teflon | Hardened Steel |
Copper | Nylon | Exotic Alloys |
Our CNC milling team has special training to work with hard-to-cut materials like titanium and Inconel.
Industries We Serve
Thread Sizes We Can Make
We can make threads as small as M1 (1mm) up to M120 (120mm) in metric sizes. For inch-based threads, we go from tiny #0-80 screws up to large 2″ pipe threads.
Common thread sizes we make:
- M3, M4, M5, M6 (small metric)
- M8, M10, M12 (medium metric)
- 1/4″-20, 5/16″-18, 3/8″-16 (common inch)
- 1/2″ NPT, 3/4″ NPT (pipe threads)
Special Threading Services
Multi-Start Threads
These special threads have multiple “starts” that let screws advance faster when turned. They’re used in:
- Quick-release connectors
- Bottle caps
- Camera lens mounts
Left-Hand Threads
Most threads tighten clockwise, but some need to go the opposite way. We make left-hand threads for:
- Gas fittings
- Special automotive parts
- Safety equipment
Custom Thread Profiles
When standard threads won’t work, we can make custom profiles for:
- Proprietary systems
- Extra-strong connections
- Special sealing requirements
Quality Assurance
Every threaded part we make goes through strict testing:
- Thread gauges check if threads fit correctly
- Optical comparators measure thread angles
- CMM machines verify critical dimensions
- Ultrasonic testing finds any hidden flaws
Thread Milling vs. Thread Cutting
We offer two main ways to make threads:
Thread Milling
CNC thread milling uses a spinning tool to cut threads. This works well for:
- Larger thread sizes
- Harder materials
- When you need very precise threads
Thread Cutting (Single-Point)
This traditional method uses a single tool that moves along the part. It’s good for:
- High production speeds
- Certain material types
- When a perfect finish is needed
