Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision threading operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features a 0.16-inch cutting diameter, a 3\/16-inch shank diameter, and a 2-inch overall length. An AlTiN+ coating reduces friction and extends tool life in high-temperature cutting environments. With 3 flutes and a 0.088-inch neck diameter, this tool is suited for close-tolerance thread milling on CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thread mill is appropriate for job shops, production machining operations, and toolroom applications requiring a single tool capable of producing a wide range of thread sizes. Its single profile design allows the operator to produce any thread pitch within the specified TPI range using programmed helical interpolation, reducing tooling inventory requirements. Typical applications include threading operations on aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and similar materials where thread integrity and dimensional accuracy are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts internal and external threads from 12-24 to 12-56 with a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlTiN+ coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide blank for maximum rigidity and edge retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.088-inch neck diameter with 0.65-inch neck length for reach into confined thread features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with cutting stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard CNC helical interpolation thread milling routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation; fits standard 3\/16-inch collet or toolholder systems.

Secure the 3\/16-inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder, ensuring adequate clamping force to prevent pullout during helical interpolation. Verify spindle runout before use, as excess runout will directly affect thread quality and tool life. Always reference the applicable thread milling G-code cycle parameters and confirm depth-of-cut and feed rate settings before engaging the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24 to 12-56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 to 56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal and External\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.088 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Submicron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SPTM160LA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52003302572338,"sku":"SPTM160LA","price":80.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a827fd368298f155b67b231596d99c1e_b02705f7-bbf9-42e0-a098-1e57abab46ad.jpg?v=1789998693","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-sptm160la-thread-mill-24-56-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
