Product Overview

The Metric Solid Carbide Full-Profile Thread Mill for Steel is a high-performance threading tool engineered for complete profile thread milling in tough materials such as 45# carbon steel, stainless steel, P20 tool steel, and cast iron. Designed for internal and external, left-hand or right-hand thread creation, this tool is a versatile solution for precision thread machining.

Made from ultra-hard tungsten carbide, this full-tooth thread mill features optimized cutting edges that replicate the entire thread profile in a single pass or with multiple passes, depending on your cycle strategy. The tool delivers excellent dimensional accuracy, clean finishes, and exceptional tool life in even the most demanding environments.

Key Features

• Thread Standard: Metric threads (M-series)

• Full-Profile Design: Cuts the complete thread shape (crest, flank, and root)

• Thread Directions: Supports both right-hand and left-hand threads

• Application Types: Internal and external thread milling on steel materials

• Tool Material: Solid tungsten carbide for heat and wear resistance

Material Compatibility

• 45# medium carbon steel

• Stainless steels (304, 316)

• P20 pre-hardened mold steel

• Gray and ductile cast iron

• Alloy steels and structural metals

Advantages

• Bidirectional Threading – Mill both RH and LH threads with a single tool

• Full-Form Accuracy – Reduces need for secondary finishing or passes

• High-Speed Operation – Shorter cycle time compared to tapping

• Universal Use – Switch easily between internal and external threads

• Long Tool Life – Handles tough steels with excellent wear resistance

Usage Recommendations

• Use G76/G02/G03 cycles for helical interpolation in CNC machines

• Apply high-pressure coolant or MQL when machining stainless or P20

• Select coating based on workpiece material for optimal heat management

• Always verify clearance depth for full-profile tools in blind holes

• Adjust feeds and speeds based on thread pitch and material hardness
