Our range of carbide thread mills is engineered to meet the diverse demands of high-performance manufacturing. We offer three primary types of thread milling cutters—Single-Form, Multi-Tooth (3-Flute), and Full-Profile—each designed for specific applications to optimize your machining process.
| Thread Mill Type | Ideal For |
| Single-Form Thread Milling Cutters | Low-volume production, large diameter threads, deep-hole threading, and applications requiring maximum tool flexibility. |
| 3-Flute Thread Milling Cutters | General-purpose threading in medium to high-volume production runs where a balance of speed and flexibility is required. |
Full-Profile Thread Milling Cutters | High-volume production of standard threads where minimizing cycle time is the top priority. |
Technical Specifications & Selection Guide
To help you select the right tool, here are common specifications for our metric (ISO) thread mills. We also manufacture tools for UNC/UNF, NPT, and other standards.
Key Thread Parameters
When selecting a thread mill, it is crucial to match the tool to the thread standard, diameter, and pitch. The following table provides essential data for common metric threads.
Thread Size (Metric) | Pitch (mm) | Tap Drill / Minor Dia. (mm) | Recommended Tool Type |
M6 | 1.0 | 5.0 | Single-Form / 3-Flute |
M8 | 1.25 | 6.8 | Single-Form / 3-Flute / Full-Profile |
M10 | 1.5 | 8.5 | 3-Flute / Full-Profile |
M12 | 1.75 | 10.2 | 3-Flute / Full-Profile |
M16 | 2.0 | 14.0 | 3-Flute / Full-Profile |
M20 | 2.5 | 17.5 | 3-Flute / Full-Profile |
M24 | 3.0 | 21.0 | Full-Profile |
Example Tool Dimensions
The physical dimensions of the cutter are critical for programming and ensuring it fits your application. Below are examples for an M10 x 1.5 thread.
Tool Type | Thread Size | Pitch (mm) | Cutter Diameter (mm) | Shank Diameter (mm) | Cutting Length (mm) |
Single-Form | M10 | 1.5 | 8.0 | 6.0 | 1.5 (1 Pitch) |
3-Flute | M10 | 1.5 | 8.0 | 6.0 | 4.5 (3 Pitches) |
Full-Profile | M10 | 1.5 | 8.0 | 6.0 | 20+ (Full Depth) |
Note: The cutter diameter must be smaller than the thread's minor diameter to allow for helical interpolation. The cutting length of a full-profile tool should be greater than the required thread depth.
