With 3 flutes and an AlTiN coating, it handles the heat and wear demands of ferrous and hardened workpiece materials common in precision machining environments. The cutting diameter is 0.1950 inches, the shank diameter is 0.2500 inches, and the overall length is 2.5 inches. Machinists and CNC operators use this tool when thread milling is preferred over tapping, particularly where blind holes, hard materials, or thread quality requirements make tap breakage a real risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thread mill is suited for CNC machining centers performing internal thread milling operations on ferrous alloys, stainless steels, hardened steels, and similar materials where AlTiN coating provides thermal and wear resistance. The 3-flute geometry and 28 TPI configuration are matched to 1\/4-28 UNF internal thread production. It is appropriate for both job shop and production environments where consistent thread quality and tool life in demanding cuts are required. Coolant-through capability is not available on this tool, so external coolant or air blast strategies should be planned accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision thread milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN coating provides high-temperature resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute helical design for efficient chip evacuation during internal thread milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts 1\/4-28 UNF internal threads at 28 TPI with a 0.1950-inch cutting diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.7500-inch length of cut accommodates typical thread depth requirements for this thread size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through — compatible with external coolant or air blast setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation, used to produce 1\/4-28 UNF internal threads with a minimum nominal bore diameter of 0.2500 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread milling with this tool requires a CNC machining center programmed for helical interpolation — it is not a hand or tap-wrench tool. Ensure the spindle, toolholder, and workpiece fixturing are rigid before running thread milling cycles, as deflection directly affects thread quality. Power down the machine and follow lockout\/tagout procedures when changing or inspecting tooling. Do not use this cutter in conventional tapping cycles or hand-tapping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-28\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: 28\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Nominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\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: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HARVEY TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 987146-C3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HARVEY TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753582231858,"sku":"987146-C3","price":301.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5cd14ea8e8bcad397794240293203429_872485f7-8ca4-42b4-bfa0-b592ea7c9c5e.jpg?v=1788938379","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/harvey-tool-987146-c3-thread-mill-1-4-28-internal-carbide-altin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
