Built from solid carbide in material grade MT7 and coated with TiAlN for heat and wear resistance, this tool handles demanding threading operations in a wide range of workpiece materials. It runs a 3-flute, right-hand flute geometry with a 0.197 inch cutting diameter and a 0.580 inch length of cut. With a 1\/4 inch shank diameter and a 2.5 inch overall length, it fits standard CNC machining center toolholders used in precision thread milling applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators install and run this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread mill is suited for internal 5\/16-18 UNC threading operations on CNC machining centers in both job shop and production environments. It is particularly effective in applications where conventional taps are not preferred, such as blind holes, hard materials, or situations requiring a single tool to produce a range of thread depths. The 0.580 inch length of cut allows full thread engagement across typical fastener thread lengths for this size. The TiAlN coating supports higher cutting speeds and extends tool life compared to uncoated carbide in ferrous and hardened materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide MT7 grade construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiAlN coating provides thermal protection and extended tool life at elevated cutting speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute, right-hand helical geometry for efficient chip evacuation during internal threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.197 inch cutting diameter matched to 5\/16-18 UNC internal thread profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.580 inch length of cut supports full thread depth on standard fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch shank diameter fits common CNC toolholders without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation for internal UNC thread milling at 5\/16-18.

Ensure the toolholder is clean and the shank is properly seated and torqued to toolholder manufacturer specifications before running. Verify spindle speed and feed rate parameters against the CARMEX MT7 grade cutting data for the workpiece material before engaging the cut. Coolant-through is not supported on this tool; external coolant or air blast is recommended for chip clearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.197 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.580 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.900 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT7\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CARMEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT0250C0618UN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CARMEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67917441794354,"sku":"MT0250C0618UN","price":385.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3e470047521b6bfce6f7d1f477600bb2_7a31aa8f-fdeb-4c31-be83-67e89147eaa5.jpg?v=1791263198","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/carmex-mt0250c0618un-thread-mill-5-16-18-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
