MTECS Small Diameter, Short Solid Carbide Thread Mills

The MTECS (Mill Thread Endmills Carbide Short) Features solid carbide thread mills are used for the production Minimum thread size: M1.4x0.3 of small internal threads. These thread mills feature a (1.1 mm bore diameter) up to M20x2.50

short 3-tooth cutting zone with 3 flutes and a released• 2xD and 3xD threading lengths
neck between the cutting zone and the shank.• High cutting speeds
This unique tool design offers very precise profiles• Short cycle time
and a high performance IC908 submicron carbide• Low cutting forces due to the short contact profile

grade with PVD titanium aluminum nitride coating. resulting in accurate and parallel thread

  • Prevents oval threads near thin walls

The very short profile exerts a low force which

  • No more dealing with broken taps

minimizes tool bending. This facilitates parallel and

  • Reliable threading in blind holes

high thread precision for the entire length.

  • Excellent performance on hardened steel, high temperature alloys and titanium

Compared to taps, the SOLIDTHREAD is more accurate, thread machining is substantially faster and there is no danger of a broken tap being stuck in the hole. Thread Mill vs. Tap
