Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance required for precision threading operations in demanding shop environments. The tool features a 0.488-inch cutting diameter, a 1\/2-inch shank, and a 3.5-inch overall length, making it well suited for CNC machining centers running helical thread interpolation cycles. Five flutes provide balanced cutting action and efficient chip evacuation. The bright\/uncoated finish keeps the carbide substrate at the surface for maximum sharpness on non-ferrous and ferrous materials alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thread mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers capable of three-axis helical interpolation. It covers a broad TPI range in a single tool, reducing the need for multiple taps or thread mills when working across different thread pitches within the 5\/8-inch diameter family. Typical applications include threading bores and external bosses in aerospace, automotive, mold and die, and general machining environments. The 0.34-inch neck diameter and 1.35-inch neck length provide reach and clearance for both through and blind-hole threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers 5\/8-11 to 5\/8-32 thread range in a single tool  -  11 to 32 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuts both internal and external threads with one tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubmicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive flutes for balanced cutting and efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.34-inch neck diameter and 1.35-inch neck length for clearance in deep or blind features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in CNC machining centers with helical thread interpolation capability and a standard 1\/2-inch toolholder or collet chuck; suited for threading operations within the 5\/8-11 to 5\/8-32 thread size range on internal and external features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC programmer familiar with thread mill interpolation cycles. Secure the 1\/2-inch shank in a properly sized, balanced toolholder or precision collet chuck and verify runout before cutting. Program the correct helical interpolation path for the target thread pitch and diameter  -  do not attempt to use this tool as a standard end mill or tap. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer guidelines for feeds, speeds, and coolant strategy appropriate to the workpiece material.\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\u003eTPI Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11 to 32 TPI\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: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.34 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.35 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: SPTM488L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972413882674,"sku":"SPTM488L","price":120.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ecb1d94b576c90a8040a1859e8c43878.jpg?v=1789968010","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-sptm488l-thread-mill-5-8-11-to-5-8-32","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
