Carmex 06IL27NPTBXC Threading Insert 27 Tpi Npt Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX 06IL27NPTBXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for cutting left-hand internal NPT threads at 27 threads per inch (TPI). Built in the IL insert style with a BXC manufacturer grade, this insert features a PVD-applied TiN coating for improved wear resistance and extended tool life when threading stainless steel and similarly demanding workpiece materials. With a 5/32-inch inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.073 inches, the 06IL27NPTBXC is engineered for precision threading on CNC lathes and other turning centers where consistent NPT thread form is required. A 60-degree included angle ensures accurate thread profile geometry on every pass.

This insert is suited for internal NPT threading operations in industrial and trade machining environments. It is particularly well-matched for threading stainless steel components, including fittings, pipe couplings, and hydraulic or pneumatic port features that require a left-hand internal NPT thread profile. The insert mounts in compatible IL-style toolholders and is intended for use by machinists and tooling specialists running production or job-shop turning applications where thread accuracy and surface finish are critical.

Key Features

• Left-hand internal NPT thread form at 27 TPI with a 60-degree included angle
• Solid carbide construction in BXC grade for rigidity and wear resistance
• PVD TiN coating for heat resistance and extended cutting life
• 5/32-inch inscribed circle and 0.073-inch thickness for compact tooling setups
• Single cutting tooth per side for precise thread profile engagement
• IL insert style with ISO code 06 IL 27 NPT for straightforward toolholder matching

Compatibility

Designed for use in IL-style threading toolholders accepting a 06-series laydown insert with a 5/32-inch inscribed circle. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamping compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or clamping screw driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert without overtightening. Confirm thread hand, insert orientation, and toolholder alignment before taking a test cut.
