Description

Product Overview

The M1.6 three-flute thread mill is a higher-feed version for M1.6 thread milling. Its three cutting edges allow a higher feed rate than a single-flute model in softer materials such as aluminium alloys, brass, and low-carbon steels.

It is intended for volume production where M1.6 thread accuracy to ISO 1502 is required.
