Thread milling is one of the most advanced methods of getting the thread, that is why a growing number of tool companies are engaged in manufacturing the thread mills. The paper undertakes a review of constructions and design elements of the thread mills suggested in the manufacturers’ catalogues. The review allows eliciting the classification features and developing the classification of the constructions as well as identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the thread mills. The paper shows the main kinematic operation schemes of the different types of mills. The results of the review will be useful for the specialists utilizing the thread mills and allow selecting the tool for solving the particular technological problems by the construction, design elements and profile of the thread obtained.
