Carmex 08ILA60BXC Laydown Threading Insert 48-16 Tpi Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX 08ILA60BXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for internal threading operations. Coated with titanium nitride (TiN) via a PVD process, this insert cuts left-hand partial profile 60-degree threads across a wide range of thread pitches from 48 to 16 TPI (0.50 to 1.50 mm pitch). The 3/16-inch inscribed circle and 0.087-inch thickness conform to the 08 IL insert style standard. This insert is installed and replaced by machinists and CNC lathe operators working in precision threading applications across a broad range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for internal threading on CNC lathes and manual turning centers where left-hand thread forms are required. The partial profile 60-degree geometry makes it applicable across unified and metric 60-degree thread standards without needing a dedicated insert for each pitch. Compatible workpiece materials span a universal range including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, high-temp alloys, and aluminum - covering material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD-applied TiN coating for wear resistance and extended tool life
• Left-hand internal partial profile 60-degree thread form covers 48-16 TPI (0.50-1.50 mm pitch) in a single insert
• 08 IL insert style with 3/16-inch inscribed circle and 0.087-inch thickness for precise seating in compatible toolholders
• Universal workpiece material compatibility across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, high-temp, and aluminum alloys
• Manufactured to CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 standards

Compatibility

Designed to fit toolholders accepting the 08 IL laydown insert style. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and clamping mechanism compatibility before installation. No specific toolholder model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use appropriate insert-seating tools and follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque guidelines - do not over-torque the clamping screw. Verify thread direction and insert hand orientation before running the first pass.
