SHUR-THREAD GFI series of solid carbide thread mills are now available with internal coolant supply. By precisely applying coolant where it is needed, waste is eliminated and chips are efficiently evacuated.

SHUR-THREAD offers high confidence machining, up to 2xD length of cut, and other technologically advanced features. Offering balance of performance benefits, the tooling line provides superb value for any size machine shop or production volume.

The SHUR-THREAD series combines cutting-edge design elements with state-of-the-art grinding techniques for enhanced performance, versatility, reliability and ease-of-use. Featuring premium micro-grain carbide and TiCN-coating for longer tool life, the SHUR-THREAD mills are engineered with multiple spiral flutes to eliminate chatter. Also, a large cutter diameter with high profile correction ensures true-to-gauge threads, and an extended milling portion allows for up to a 2xD length-of-cut. To further enhance performance, an enlarged flute space provides efficient chip evacuation and an end mill-type shank with clamping flat allows for secure tool holding. SHUR-THREAD cutters produce threads for applications 1" and under in a wide range of soft and prehardened steels to 58Rc, stainless steels, aluminum, cast iron, titanium, Inconel and more. The SHUR-THREAD program consists of 20 tool sizes in two styles – type GFI and EZFI – EZFI is for thread sizes #4, #6 and #8, and type GFI is for thread sizes #10 thru 1".
