Carmex 06IRA60BXC Threading Insert Solid Carbide 48-20 Tpi

Product Description

The CARMEX 06IRA60BXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for right-hand internal partial-profile thread cutting at a 60-degree included angle. It covers a thread range of 48 to 20 TPI, equivalent to a 0.50 to 1.25 mm pitch, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of threading applications. The insert features a 5/32 inch (0.1563 inch) inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.073 inches. A PVD-applied TiN coating improves surface hardness and wear resistance. Machinists and CNC operators working on lathes and turning centers will find this insert well-suited to precision internal threading operations across multiple workpiece material categories.

This insert is intended for internal threading on a broad range of workpiece materials, including steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, high-temperature alloys, and titanium alloys, as indicated by its universal primary workpiece material rating spanning material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It fits standard 06 IR style toolholders and is appropriate for both production and job-shop environments where consistent thread form accuracy is required across varying material types.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in internal threading operations
• PVD TiN coating applied for extended tool life and improved surface finish
• 60-degree partial profile design covers 48 to 20 TPI (0.50 to 1.25 mm pitch) in a single insert
• Right-hand cut geometry for standard internal thread direction
• 5/32 inch inscribed circle fits 06 IR style toolholder pockets
• Universal material compatibility across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, and exotic alloy families

Compatibility

Designed for use in 06 IR style internal threading toolholders. Compatible with workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S per the manufacturer classification, covering a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. The MSC and manufacturer cross-reference number for this insert style is 06 IR/L A60.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the machine powered down and toolholder secured in a stable setup. Ensure the toolholder pocket is clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Refer to the machine tool manufacturer and toolholder specifications for correct clamping torque and insert orientation before beginning any threading cycle. Verify thread pitch and TPI settings in the machine control match the insert range before engaging the cut.
