Osg 1662501817 Thread Mill 5/8-11 Unc 5 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 1662501817 is a solid carbide helical flute thread mill designed for cutting 5/8-11 UNC internal and external threads. With 5 right-hand flutes and an EgiAs coating, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and extended tool life in demanding machining environments. The 0.421-inch cutting diameter and 1.454-inch length of cut make it well-suited for threading operations requiring precision and consistency. Machinists and CNC operators install this tool in milling centers where a single cutter handles both thread profile and helix in one pass, reducing tool changes and setup time.

This thread mill is intended for use in CNC milling applications where 5/8-11 UNC threads are required in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its solid carbide construction and EgiAs coating make it appropriate for production and job-shop environments running moderate to high cutting speeds. The right-hand thread direction and right-hand flute orientation suit standard climb-milling toolpaths programmed for internal or external thread cycles.

Key Features

• Cuts 5/8-11 UNC internal and external threads in a single helical toolpath
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• EgiAs coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• 5 right-hand flutes for efficient chip removal
• 0.421-inch cutting diameter with 1.454-inch length of cut
• 1/2-inch shank diameter for standard ER or side-lock toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style thread milling tool for CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation, suitable for applications requiring 5/8-11 UNC thread profiles in both internal and external configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or tooling specialist. Secure the 1/2-inch shank in a balanced, runout-minimized toolholder and verify tool projection before running a program. Confirm that the machining center supports helical interpolation before executing thread mill cycles. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended cutting parameters for the workpiece material.
