    For a 10-24 I see this description:

    "Use to cut a 10-24UN or larger thread; .140 Cutting Diameter; 3/16" Shank Diameter; (7).292 LOC; 2.5" OAL; TiALN Coated"

    Since I can't see pics does "(7).292 LOC" mean 7 cutter teeth with a total length of .292"?

    Thanks for the link.

    (7).292 LOC means 7 teeth, but the 0.292 is not the total length, it is the length of cut

    if you cut not so deep, then you could try to grind a keyway cutter..



    for a try i believe even the dremel cutter will work
