Micro 100 IT-180500 Internal Threading Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 IT-180500 is a solid carbide single point internal threading tool designed for cutting internal threads on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. It handles a minimum thread diameter of 0.18 inches and covers a thread pitch range of 27 to 56 threads per inch (TPI) with a 60-degree profile angle, making it suitable for unified and metric-style thread forms in that pitch range. The 0.5 inch cut depth and 0.04 inch projection from edge keep the geometry rigid and repeatable. Machinists and tool and die technicians install this tool in production and job shop environments where precision internal threading is required.

This tool is suited for internal threading operations in small-bore applications, including hydraulic fittings, instrumentation components, and precision mechanical assemblies. The 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard tool holders and boring bar sleeves commonly used on CNC turning centers. With a bright, uncoated finish, the IT-180500 performs well in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coating is not required. The 2.5 inch overall length provides adequate reach for typical internal threading depths encountered in production turning.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in internal threading applications
• 60-degree profile angle covers unified (UN) thread forms in the 27 to 56 TPI range
• 0.18 inch minimum thread diameter allows threading in small-bore workpieces
• 0.5 inch cutting depth supports threading to typical bore depths without tool interference
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard CNC lathe and turning center tool holders
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and general-purpose threading operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single point threading insert replacement for internal threading operations requiring a 1/4 inch shank, 60-degree profile, and 27 to 56 TPI range on CNC and manual turning equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is in a safe index position before changing or adjusting tooling. Secure the 1/4 inch shank in a properly sized tool holder or boring bar sleeve and verify projection and centerline height before running a test pass. Do not exceed the tool's specified cut depth or minimum bore diameter to avoid deflection or tool breakage.
