Scientific Cutting Tools TMLR6-1MMA Thread Mill M6 X 1.00

Product Description

The SCIENTIFIC CUTTING TOOLS TMLR6-1MMA is an internal helical flute thread mill designed for cutting M6 x 1.00 metric coarse threads in a wide range of machined components. Built from submicron-grade solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN+ coating, this long-reach thread mill handles demanding internal threading operations with consistent dimensional accuracy. The 3-flute design provides smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting action. With a 0.18-inch cutting diameter and 0.5-inch length of cut, it is suited for threading compact bores and close-tolerance features. Machinists and tooling specialists working in precision manufacturing, aerospace, and general metalworking will find this tool a reliable choice for metric thread milling applications.

This thread mill is used in CNC machining centers for internal thread production in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The long-reach configuration makes it appropriate for applications where the thread is positioned deeper in a bore or where clearance constraints limit the use of standard-length tooling. The 1/4-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collet chucks and tool holders commonly found in production and job-shop environments. The right-hand flute direction suits conventional climb and conventional milling strategies on modern CNC equipment.

Key Features

• M6 x 1.00 metric coarse thread profile for internal threading operations
• Submicron-grade solid carbide construction for extended tool life and edge retention
• AlTiN+ coating improves heat resistance and wear performance in hard and abrasive materials
• 3-flute helical design promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finish
• Long-reach thread mill type for access to recessed or deep bore thread features
• Right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC thread milling cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal thread mill for CNC machining centers using standard 1/4-inch shank collet or tool holder systems capable of executing helical interpolation thread milling cycles.

Installation Notes

Thread milling requires a CNC machining center with helical interpolation capability. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and properly torqued before mounting. Verify programmed thread parameters match the M6 x 1.00 pitch and minimum nominal bore diameter of 0.2362 inches before cutting. Coolant-through is not supported on this tool, so external coolant or air blast should be used to manage chip clearing and heat.
