In a method for creating a through-thread, thread creation means is moved in a screw-in movement in an axial forward direction (VR) through a workpiece from a first workpiece side to a second workpiece side opposite the first workpiece side such that the end face projects out of the workpiece, wherein the thread creation means is moved through the workpiece, in particular along a first line which is a helical line, wherein then, to create at least one countersink, the thread creation means is moved in a countersinking movement, in particular along a second line that differs from the first line, and wherein, for subsequent withdrawal, the thread creation means is moved back through the workpiece in a screw-out movement in the axial backward direction (RR), in particular at least substantially along the first line.

The end cutting edges formed on the front end face of the tool body includes a first end cutting edge that is connected to the front end of the thread cutting edge, and a second end cutting edge that is connected to the first end cutting edge on the side closer to the axis, and is angled more toward the rear end than the first end cutting edge. The angle formed by an imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis and the first end cutting edge is set to 6° or less. The angle formed by the second end cutting edges and the imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis and is set to be greater than the angle formed by the first end cutting edges and the imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis.

A hybrid threading tool defines a longitudinal axis and includes a cutting portion with a plurality of cutting teeth. The plurality of cutting teeth are configured to cut a first threading into a workpiece. The hybrid threading tool also defines a forming portion that is attached to the cutting portion and that is arranged therewith along the longitudinal axis. The forming portion includes a plurality of forming teeth configured to plastically deform the first threading into a second threading for the workpiece.

A tool for generating a threaded hole is rotatable in a rotational movement about a tool axis extending through the tool, and is movable in an axial forward direction axially of the tool axis. The tool comprises at least one thread generation area and at least one drilling area, which are rigidly motion-coupled to each other. The drilling area is provided for generating a core hole and is arranged axially offset to the tool axis with respect to the thread generation area. The thread generation area projects radially to the tool axis, runs along a helical line, and a predetermined winding sense of the thread to be generated, and has a working profile which corresponds to the thread profile of the thread to be generated. The drilling area has a drilling edge, and at least one chip divider is arranged on the drilling edge, interrupts the drilling edge.

A tapping tool for producing a threaded bore having an internal thread in a workpiece. The tapping tool has a main cutting edge on its drill tip and a thread profile trailing in a tapping direction. The method has a tapping stroke in which the tapping tool is driven into the workpiece at a tapping feed rate in the tapping direction and at a tapping speed synchronized therewith and the main cutting edge of the tool produces a core hole bore and the tool thread profile forms an internal thread on the inner wall of the core hole bore. Chips are produced in the tapping stroke, which are conveyed out of the threaded bore in a chip removal direction opposite to the tapping direction and collide with thread flanks of the internal thread facing toward the chips to be removed.

A method for forming a thread with a predefined thread pitch and with a predefined thread profile in a workpiece, in which a tool is used, wherein, during working movement, a thread generating region forms a thread, wherein the tool is moved during a second working phase further into the workpiece in the same forwards direction as in the working movement, as far as a reversal point, wherein the decelerating movement comprises a rotational movement in the same rotational direction as in the working movement, wherein during the decelerating movement, the axial feed movement is controlled in dependence on the rotational angle of the rotational movement of the tool and wherein the axial feed of the tool during a complete revolution, is smaller in terms of amount than the thread pitchat least during part of the decelerating movement and is zero at the reversal point.
