Emuge GFR15106.5046 Thread Mill 7/16-20 Unf 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The EMUGE GFR15106.5046 is a helical flute thread mill designed for cutting internal UNF threads at the 7/16-20 specification. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiCN, this tool delivers consistent thread geometry in a single helical interpolation pass. The 3-flute, right-hand flute configuration provides efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. With a 0.3710-inch cutting diameter and 0.8740-inch length of cut, it handles the full thread depth required for standard 7/16-20 internal thread applications. Licensed machinists and CNC operators use this mill in production and maintenance environments where thread quality and tool life matter.

This thread mill is suited for CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation. It is used in applications requiring 7/16-20 UNF internal threads in materials compatible with solid carbide tooling. The 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and shrink-fit toolholders commonly found in both job shop and production settings. The 1-9/16-inch shank length provides adequate reach for most standard workpiece depths without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 3-flute helical design promotes smooth chip flow and consistent thread finish
• Cuts 7/16-20 UNF internal threads at 20 TPI with a 0.3710-inch cutting diameter
• Right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC climb-milling routines
• No coolant-through design - external coolant or mist lubrication applies

Compatibility

Designed for machining centers with helical interpolation capability; fits 3/8-inch shank toolholders and produces 7/16-20 UNF internal threads per standard UNF thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified CNC machinists familiar with thread milling programming and helical interpolation cycles. Secure the shank in a properly sized, balanced toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Program the helical interpolation path to match the 7/16-20 UNF thread pitch; do not use this tool as a tap or in non-interpolating operations. Apply appropriate external coolant or mist lubrication at the cutting zone to manage heat since this tool does not have coolant-through capability.
