Sandvik Coromant 6010153 Thread Mill 12-24 Tpi 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The SANDVIK COROMANT 6010153 is a solid carbide single profile thread mill designed for cutting internal threads across a range of 12 to 24 TPI. With a cutting diameter of 0.3071 inches and a 5/16-inch (0.3125 inches) shank, this tool handles thread milling operations on CNC machining centers where a single tool must cover multiple thread pitches without a tool change. The TiAlN/TiN dual-layer coating extends tool life in demanding materials by reducing heat buildup and wear at the cutting edge. Three flutes provide a balance of chip clearance and cutting stability for internal thread applications.

This thread mill is suited for job shops, production machining environments, and toolrooms where internal threads in the 12 to 24 TPI range are required. The single-profile design allows the operator to program any thread pitch within the supported range using CNC helical interpolation, making it a versatile option for prototype work and short-to-medium production runs. The compact neck diameter of 0.1969 inches and neck length of 0.9843 inches allow access to threads in bored or pre-drilled holes with limited clearance.

Key Features

• Covers 12 to 24 TPI range with a single tool using CNC helical interpolation
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional stability
• TiAlN/TiN dual-layer coating for extended tool life and heat resistance
• Three-flute design balances chip evacuation and cutting stability
• Reduced neck diameter of 0.1969 inches enables access in tight bore conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers with helical interpolation capability; fits standard 5/16-inch tool holders and collet chucks for internal thread milling applications in the 12 to 24 TPI range.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Verify collet and holder runout before use, as excessive runout will degrade thread quality and shorten tool life. Follow the machine tool builder and cutting tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and helical interpolation parameters when programming internal thread cycles.
