It features three right-hand flutes, a cutting diameter of 0.09 inches, and a length of cut of 0.225 inches. The submicron carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for precision threading in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. An AlTiN+ coating reduces heat buildup and extends tool life in demanding production environments. This tool is installed by machinists and toolroom professionals running CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis thread mill is suited for internal threading operations where a standard tap cannot be used, including blind holes, hard materials, and applications requiring a single tool to produce multiple thread sizes close to the nominal diameter. With a minimum nominal diameter of 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm) and an overall length of 2.5 inches, it provides the reach and clearance needed for deep-pocket or restricted-access threading. It is appropriate for both prototype and production runs in aerospace, automotive, and general machining environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong-reach design allows threading in deep pockets and restricted-access bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree helical flutes provide smooth chip evacuation during internal thread milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlTiN+ coating reduces friction and thermal buildup for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSubmicron solid carbide grade delivers rigidity and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC thread milling cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through design  -  suitable for external coolant or dry machining setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation thread milling cycles.

Secure the 0.25-inch shank in a collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the required runout tolerance before use. Verify spindle speed, feed rate, and helical pitch programmed in the CNC cycle match the M3 x 0.50 thread specification. Do not use this tool in manual drill press or non-interpolating applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3 x 0.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Mill Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long Reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.225 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Nominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1181 inches (3.00 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 mm\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: AlTiN+\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: TMLR3-.5MMA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52070098534706,"sku":"TMLR3-.5MMA","price":141.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7af4e94f68a3ac29256048cac9ec4650.jpg?v=1790048225","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/scientific-cutting-tools-tmlr3-5mma-thread-mill-m3x0-5","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
