Iscar 5604985 Thread Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide Tialn 24 Tpi

Product Description

The ISCAR 5604985 is a solid carbide helical flute thread mill designed for cutting internal threads in a CNC machining environment. It produces UNC threads at 24 teeth per inch (TPI) with a right-hand flute direction, targeting thread sizes 10 and 12. The cutting diameter measures 0.138 inches, the length of cut (LOC) is 0.42 inches, and the overall length (OAL) is 2.5 inches. A TiAlN coating improves heat resistance and wear life during dry or semi-dry cutting operations. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC programmers working in precision thread milling applications.

This thread mill is suited for internal thread milling on machining centers in both production and job-shop environments. It is designed for use on materials where solid carbide rigidity and TiAlN coating provide a performance advantage, including ferrous and hardened materials. The 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders common to most CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers. Three flutes contribute to efficient chip evacuation in blind and through-hole applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• TiAlN coating for improved heat and wear resistance
• 24 TPI for UNC thread sizes 10 and 12
• 0.138 inch cutting diameter with 0.42 inch length of cut
• Right-hand helical flute direction with 3 flutes for chip clearance
• 1/4 inch shank diameter for standard collet compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for internal UNC thread milling in thread sizes 10 and 12 at 24 TPI. Fits standard 1/4 inch collets and toolholders on CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC programmer. Ensure the toolholder and collet are clean and properly torqued before operation. Confirm spindle direction and programmed helical interpolation path match the right-hand flute orientation of this tool. Coolant-through is not supported on this tool; apply external coolant or cutting fluid as required by the workpiece material.
