Micro 100 IT-120500 Internal Threading Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 IT-120500 is a solid carbide single point internal threading tool designed for cutting precision threads in bores and internal features on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. With a minimum threading diameter of 0.12 inches and a cutting depth of 0.5 inches, it handles internal thread profiles from 32 to 56 TPI using a 60-degree profile angle. The 3/16-inch shank diameter and 2-inch overall length make it well-suited for small-bore threading applications where rigidity and tool clearance are both critical. The bright, uncoated carbide finish suits a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

This tool is intended for internal threading operations on precision components machined in job shops, production environments, and toolrooms. It is particularly applicable where fine-pitch unified thread forms are required in small diameters. Machinists working with stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials will find the uncoated carbide construction appropriate for maintaining edge sharpness at moderate cutting speeds. The 0.03-inch projection from the edge provides controlled engagement geometry for consistent thread form on each pass.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in small-bore internal threading
• 60-degree profile angle covers standard unified thread forms (UN, UNC, UNF)
• 32 to 56 TPI range targets fine-pitch internal threads in small diameters
• 0.12 inches minimum threading diameter for tight bore access
• 0.5 inches cutting depth supports threading deeper internal features
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single point threading insert tool for use in turning centers and lathes accepting a 3/16-inch round shank toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with CNC or manual lathe threading cycles. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is securely clamped before mounting or adjusting the tool. Verify shank diameter and projection clearance against the workpiece bore before initiating a threading pass. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when setting depths of cut and feed rates.
