Carmex Thread Mills Carbide - Hard Type - Metric - M5 x 0.8 - MT11

Carmex Thread Mills Carbide — Hard Type is a precision threading tool designed for the die-and-mold shop. Built to handle demanding materials with speed and reliability, it combines thread milling and chamfering in a single operation to reduce cycle times and streamline production.

• Shank and size: MT11 shank for secure toolholding on compatible CNC machines; metric thread size M5 x 0.8.
• Material and coating: Solid carbide core with a high-wear, heat-resistant coating engineered for longevity in tough alloys and hardened steels.
• Multi-function capability: Simultaneously mills threads and chamfers, simplifying programming and reducing machining time.
• Rigidity and cutting diameter: Increased cutting diameter enhances rigidity and stability during high-speed cutting and heavy cuts.
• Chip control: Ultra-fine grade optimized for hardened materials, producing short chips for safer, cleaner operations.
• Thread length: Threading length up to 2xD expands depth for deeper or longer thread features.
• Material compatibility: Effective on hardened steels (up to 62 HRc), cast iron, high-temperature alloys, titanium, Hastelloy, Inconel, and nickel-base alloys.

With Carmex, you gain a single, robust tool that delivers precise M5 x 0.8 threads in hardened workpieces while minimizing tool changes and cycle times. The combination of a larger, more rigid cutting diameter and a specialized coating reduces cutting forces and heat, enhancing surface quality and tool life. Its versatility makes it particularly well-suited for Die and Mold production, where fast, accurate threads and chamfers unlock faster prototyping, tighter tolerances, and more efficient manufacturing.
