Vargus 80241 Thread Mill 10-32 6-32 3 Flutes Solid Carbide

Product Description

The VARGUS 80241 is a straight flute thread mill designed for cutting internal threads in a single helical pass. Built from solid carbide, it produces UNC and UNF thread profiles in both 10-32 and 6-32 configurations using a single tool. The 3-flute geometry provides stable cutting action while the bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 0.1-inch cutting diameter and a 0.292-inch length of cut, this tool is well suited to small-diameter thread milling applications where tap breakage is a concern or thread tolerance is critical.

This thread mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation. It is a common choice for production shops, tool and die work, and any application where threading small holes in hard or difficult-to-tap materials is required. The 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and shrink-fit holders. At 2.244 inches overall length, it provides adequate reach for typical through-hole and blind-hole thread milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Cuts both 10-32 and 6-32 internal thread sizes with a single tool
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in CNC applications
• 3-flute straight flute design for stable, chatter-resistant cutting
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• No coolant-through requirement simplifies setup on standard machining centers
• 32 TPI with UNC and UNF thread standard compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation. Compatible with standard 1/4-inch collet chucks and shrink-fit toolholders. Suitable for cutting 10-32 and 6-32 internal threads to UNC and UNF standards.

Installation Notes

Thread milling requires a CNC control with helical interpolation capability. Program the tool path according to the thread pitch and nominal diameter before running. Verify spindle speed and feed rate against the tool manufacturer's recommendations for the specific workpiece material. Inspect the tool for chipping before each use, as carbide thread mills are sensitive to re-cutting chips in blind-hole applications.
