Emuge GFR35106.5010 Thread Mill 5/16-18 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The EMUGE GFR35106.5010 is a helical flute thread mill designed for cutting internal UNC threads at 5/16-18. Built from micrograin solid carbide and coated with TiCN, this tool delivers consistent thread quality in demanding machining environments. It features 3 right-hand flutes, a 0.242-inch cutting diameter, and a 0.637-inch length of cut. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and heat management during threading operations. The 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard collet and end mill holders. This tool is used by machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop settings where precise internal threading is required.

This thread mill is suited for machining internal 5/16-18 UNC threads in materials compatible with micrograin carbide tooling and TiCN coating, including steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. The helical flute design allows the tool to interpolate a full thread in a single pass using circular G-code programming on a CNC machining center. It is appropriate for both prototype runs and production applications where thread accuracy and surface finish are critical. The 1-3/8-inch shank length provides adequate clearance for most standard workholding setups.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 3 right-hand helical flutes for smooth cutting action
• Coolant-through design supports chip evacuation and thermal control
• 0.242-inch cutting diameter with 0.637-inch length of cut for 5/16-18 UNC internal threads
• 18 teeth per inch matching UNC thread standard

Compatibility

Designed for cutting internal 5/16-18 UNC threads with a minimum nominal diameter of 0.3125 inches; fits standard 1/4-inch shank collet holders on CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation.

Installation Notes

Thread milling requires a CNC machining center with helical interpolation capability. Secure the tool in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before use. Program the tool path using circular interpolation with the correct thread pitch to achieve the 5/16-18 UNC thread profile. Ensure coolant-through supply is active and at adequate pressure to evacuate chips and manage heat during the cut.
