CONT: Thread cutting on a lathe is often called thread chasing .... A single-point cutting tool is used to cut screw threads on engine lathes .... Other methods of cutting screw threads are: Chasing threads with a threading die, thread milling, thread rolling, and thread grinding.
OBS: ""Thread chasing"" is not a true synonym of thread cutting since it applies only to thread making involving the use of single-point tools or tools placed on a lathe.
OBS: screw cutting: This term is normally restricted to the cutting of threads on workpieces destined to become screws or bolts (rather than on pipes, etc.).
