Micro 100 TM-18NPTX Thread Milling Cutter - NPT, 18 TPI, 305" Cutter Dia, 5/8" LOC, 4 Fl, 5/16" Shank Dia, 3" OAL, AlTiN

MICRO 100 TM-18NPTX AlTiN - Aluminum Titanium Nitride coated, helical flute, NPT - national pipe thread, solid carbide thread mill. Designed and engineered with a helical flute design for reducing cutting forces, machining smoother cuts, longer lasting tool life and providing maximum thread milling performance. Capable of right and/or left hand threads while allowing for 100% thread form versus the tapping method. Best suited for all types of materials especially heat treated and difficult to machine workpiece materials. AlTiN coatings are high performance and versatile. Has a higher breakdown temperature while maintaining high surface hardness at elevated temperatures. This type of coating also promotes tool life and allows for faster feeds and speeds. Excellent for dry machining applications. Applicable with oxidation temperatures up to 800° C or 1450° F. AlTiN coatings are best suited for alloy steels, stainless steels, tool steels, nickel alloys, titanium and excellent for dry machining applications. MICRO 100 Solid Carbide Tools feature more than just a micro-grain of excellent quality. Their substrate is in class of its own resulting from exclusive treating processes that allow increased speed and feed rates.
