Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the wear resistance and edge stability required for accurate thread forming in hard or abrasive materials. With 5 flutes and a 0.488-inch cutting diameter, the tool produces clean thread profiles in a helical interpolation path using a standard CNC machining center. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous metals and materials where coating adhesion is not a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thread mill is suited for machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where a single tool must cover a broad TPI range without a tool change. The 1\/2-inch shank diameter fits standard ER or side-lock holders common in CNC machining centers. The 3.5-inch overall length and 0.85-inch neck length provide clearance for threading blind or through holes where reach is a factor. It handles both internal and external thread profiles, reducing tooling inventory in shops running mixed threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts internal and external threads from 5\/8-11 to 5\/8-32 with a single tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during thread milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.488-inch cutting diameter with 0.34-inch neck diameter for clearance in tight bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and other compatible workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5-inch overall length accommodates applications requiring additional reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers with helical interpolation capability; fits standard 1\/2-inch shank toolholders and covers thread sizes from 5\/8-11 to 5\/8-32 for internal and external applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread mills of this type are installed and run by machinists on CNC milling or machining center equipment programmed for helical interpolation. Confirm that the toolholder is clean and the shank is fully seated before clamping. Verify spindle speed, feed rate, and helical pitch in the CAM program against the specific workpiece material before cutting. Do not use this tool in manual milling machines or without proper CNC thread milling cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-11 to 5\/8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 to 32\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: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.488 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.500 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.340 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.850 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.850 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.500 inches (3-1\/2 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\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.32 pounds\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: SPTM488\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985466032434,"sku":"SPTM488","price":121.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3ea9aa5bfeda0e060867118101d39139.jpg?v=1789985493","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-sptm488-thread-mill-5-8-11-to-5-8-32","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
