Need small indexable threading bar

[Crashmaster]

Hi guys. I'm looking for a indexable threading bar that can thread a 5/8-27 hole. Everything I have found only deals with threading bars over 5/8. Anybody see anything like this out there?

We have a Carmex threading bar that goes down to .335 I.D.
It's short, however (about .7" depth capability).
We got it from MSC

Hi Crashmaster

Iscar has a niece one that will do this for you

extanker59 Carmex are mostly Iscar just a different name on the pack

Wouldn't be a bit surprised. Everybody is rebranding and buying up everybody else. Good tool, whoever makes it.

Carmex bars are what we use for the small stuff. Not where I can check their catalog, but I think they have a bar that goes even smaller.

Yeah, sorry. We have that smaller bar too but I thought he wanted the biggest bar to fit his hole. I should have mentioned it.
It's even shorter, about 1/2" depth capability. Just guessing about .26 min bore?

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Mactec, do you know a good website to order Iscar from? I may be wrong but I don't think MSC carries many Iscar products.

Hey, I wasn't suggesting he use the smaller bar. Only mentioning that I thought they carried even smaller. I like to use the biggest bar I can without causing problems with chips. Sorry if it sounded like I wasn't agreeing with you. Wasn't meant that way.

LOL, it's so easy to misunderstand on these forums but I didn't take it wrong. I figured you were trying to make the information more complete.

Hi Crashmaster

Carmex seems to be what a lot of companys are selling in the threading type tooling so I think it would be easer to get there's

Carmex does make some of it's own tooling but they only do thread cutting tooling
