Scientific Cutting Tools Tm 12-1MM Thread Mill M12x1

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS TM 12-1MM is a straight flute internal thread mill designed for cutting M12x1 metric fine threads in a single helical pass. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and wear resistance needed for consistent thread quality in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With 4 flutes and a bright uncoated finish, this tool is suited for shops running thread milling operations on CNC machining centers where precise thread geometry and tool life are priorities. The 0.4-inch cutting diameter and 1.079-inch length of cut make it appropriate for through and blind hole applications within its rated size range.

This tool is used in production and job-shop environments for internal metric fine thread milling on M12x1 threads. It is intended for use in CNC vertical and horizontal machining centers with helical interpolation capability. Typical applications include threading in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and cast iron where tap breakage is a concern or where a single tool must thread multiple hole depths. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers are the primary users of this tooling.

Key Features

• Straight flute design for internal thread milling on M12x1 metric fine threads
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and rigidity
• 4 flutes provide balanced cutting action and efficient chip evacuation
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and materials
• Non-staggered tooth geometry for straightforward CNC programming
• No coolant-through requirement simplifies toolholder selection

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation for internal M12x1 metric fine thread milling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC programmer. Secure the 0.5-inch shank in a precision collet or end mill holder rated for the spindle speeds required by the workpiece material. Verify CNC helical interpolation parameters match the 1.0-millimeter pitch before running the program. Inspect the tool for chips or damage before each use and do not exceed the rated cutting diameter engagement.
