Vargus 80325 Thread Mill 1/2-14 Npt 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The VARGUS 80325 is a helical flute thread mill designed for cutting 1/2-14 NPT threads in both internal and external applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide and finished with a TiCN coating, this tool delivers wear resistance and thermal stability in demanding machining environments. It runs 4 right-hand flutes at 14 teeth per inch, with a cutting diameter of 0.5610 inches and a length of cut of 0.7500 inches. Overall length is 3.1500 inches. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and tool life in deep or interrupted thread profiles. Machinists and CNC programmers working in production or job-shop environments will find this tool suited to precision NPT thread applications.

This thread mill is intended for use on CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation. It handles both internal and external NPT thread forms in a single tool, making it applicable to pipe fittings, manifolds, fluid system components, and other workpieces requiring tapered pipe thread engagement. The 1/2-14 designation corresponds to standard NPT taper pipe thread. The micrograin carbide substrate supports use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys at appropriate speeds and feeds for the material.

Key Features

• Cuts 1/2-14 NPT threads - internal and external in a single tool
• 4 right-hand helical flutes at 14 TPI for efficient material removal
• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiCN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Coolant-through design aids chip evacuation and heat management
• Helical interpolation capable - compatible with standard CNC thread milling cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style thread milling tool for CNC machining centers capable of helical interpolation and programmed for 1/2-14 NPT thread profiles in internal or external configurations.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists or CNC programmers on appropriate machining center equipment. Confirm spindle collet or toolholder size matches the 3.1500-inch shank diameter before mounting. Verify that the machining center control supports helical interpolation before programming NPT thread milling cycles. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and coolant pressure settings appropriate to the workpiece material.
