Carmex 16ER1.0ISOP30 Threading Insert 1.0mm Iso Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ER1.0ISOP30 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for external ISO thread cutting at a 1.0 mm pitch. It carries a P30 grade designation and features an uncoated, bright finish suited for a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert measures 3/8 inch inscribed circle and 0.146 inches thick, with a 60-degree included angle conforming to ISO thread form standards. Right-hand cutting geometry makes it the standard choice for conventional external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in general machining, aerospace component production, and precision part manufacturing will find this insert well-suited to their threading applications.

This insert is intended for external threading passes on turned parts where ISO metric thread form is required. The P30 grade carbide targets universal primary workpiece materials, and the manufacturer lists compatibility across material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, and high-temperature alloys. The uncoated bright finish is appropriate for applications where coating interference with thread form accuracy is a concern, or where post-machining inspection must be performed without coating variables.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction in P30 grade for broad material compatibility
• External ISO thread form with 60-degree included angle and 1.0 mm pitch
• Right-hand cutting geometry for standard CNC lathe threading cycles
• Uncoated bright finish for dimensional consistency and ease of inspection
• 3/8 inch inscribed circle and 0.146 inch thickness for 16 ER toolholder compatibility
• Meets CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 standards

Compatibility

Designed to seat in 16 ER series toolholders accepting a 3/8 inch inscribed circle laydown threading insert. Compatible workpiece material codes as stated by the manufacturer include H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician on a CNC lathe or manual turning center. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing inserts, and follow the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque specifications. Use appropriate insert seating and clamping hardware specified for the 16 ER toolholder; do not substitute hardware from other insert series. Verify correct insert seating and thread form accuracy with a thread gauge before returning the machine to production.
