Carmex Thread Mills Carbide - Hard Type - UN (UNC UNF UNEF UNS) - 1/2 x 12 - MT11

Carmex Thread Mills Carbide – Hard Type are precision solid carbide tools engineered for demanding thread milling and chamfering in a single setup. Designed for die and mold shops and manufacturers working with tough materials, this 1/2 in diameter tool with a 12 TPI thread form and MT11 shank delivers reliable performance across a range of materials and applications.

• Diameter and thread form: 1/2 in diameter with 12 TPI UNC/UNF/UNEF/UNS thread options for versatile threading needs.
• Shank: MT11 compatibility for secure, rigid engagement with common milling machines and holders.
• Material and type: Solid carbide, hard-type composition optimized for durability in hardened materials.
• Coating: High-wear, heat-resistant coating engineered to withstand long cutting cycles and hot-work conditions.
• Thread length: Up to 2×D, enabling deeper threads without multiple tools and reducing setup time.
• Functionality: Multitask tool that handles thread milling and chamfering, minimizing tool changes and cycle times.
• Rigidity and stability: Increased cutting diameter improves rigidity and stability during aggressive cutting in hard materials.
• Material capabilities: Suitable for threading hardened steels and cast iron up to 62 HRc, and for high-temperature alloys, titanium alloys, Hastelloy, Inconel, and nickel-based alloys.
• Chip control: Ultra-fine grade designed to produce short chips, enhancing process security and reducing handling risk in tight workflows.
• Ideal applications: Die and Mold industry and other high-volume production environments requiring high-speed threading with low cutting forces.

In practical use, this Carmex thread milling tool streamlines production by combining threading and chamfering into a single operation, boosting throughput without sacrificing precision. The robust carbide construction, coupled with a durable coating, stands up to tough jobs like 62 HRc hardened steels and demanding alloys, while the up-to-2×D thread length enables deeper, more efficient threads in molds and assemblies. If you’re optimizing a precision machining cell for fast cycle times, tight tolerances, and reliable repeatability, this hard-type carbide thread mill is purpose-built to deliver consistently.
