Ingersoll Cutting Tools 2946128 Thread Mill No. 10-32 Carbide

Product Description

The INGERSOLL CUTTING TOOLS 2946128 is a helical flute thread mill designed for milling internal or external threads in a wide range of materials. Manufactured from solid carbide in the IN2005 material grade and coated with TiAlN, it offers strong wear resistance and heat tolerance during high-speed milling operations. The tool carries a No. 10 UN thread standard at 32 teeth per inch and features a long-reach design with three right-hand flutes. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers by machinists and tooling professionals working in production or job-shop environments.

This thread mill is suited for applications requiring precise thread milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tap breakage risk is a concern or where a single tool must cover multiple thread depths. The long-reach configuration of the MTECS-UN series makes it appropriate for threading operations in deeper bores or where clearance from the workpiece surface is needed. It is a single-point-of-purchase solution for shops running tight-tolerance threaded features in steel, aluminum, or similar materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide IN2005 grade construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating extends tool life at elevated cutting temperatures
• Three right-hand helical flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Long-reach design accommodates deeper bore threading
• UN thread standard, No. 10-32, for common inch-series threaded features
• Straight-cylindrical shank for standard collet or end mill holder clamping

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers compatible with a 0.25 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Suited for milling No. 10-32 UN threads per the MTECS-UN series specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling professionals. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are set per the tooling manufacturer's programming guidelines for thread milling before starting the cycle. This tool does not include through-coolant; external coolant or mist lubrication should be applied as appropriate for the workpiece material.
