Carmex 16ER1.5ISOMXC Laydown Threading Insert 1.5mm Iso

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ER1.5ISOMXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for external ISO threading operations on CNC lathes and threading machines. It carries a 1.5 mm pitch, a 60-degree included angle, and a PVD-applied TiN coating over a micrograin carbide substrate. The MXC manufacturer grade is suited for universal workpiece materials, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of threading applications. The insert measures 0.375 inches inscribed circle and 0.146 inches thick. It is installed and changed by machinists and toolroom technicians performing precision external thread turning.

This insert is used in right-hand external threading applications following the ISO thread standard. It performs on a broad range of workpiece materials classified under universal grades, including ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless, heat-resistant alloys, and cast materials. Typical install scenarios include production threading on CNC turning centers where consistent thread form and tool life are required. The TiN PVD coating extends wear resistance and supports repeated use across medium to high production volumes.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin substrate for tight dimensional tolerances and edge consistency
• PVD TiN coating applied via physical vapor deposition for improved surface hardness and wear resistance
• 1.5 mm pitch, 60-degree included angle for standard ISO external thread profiles
• Right-hand cut orientation for conventional external threading setups
• Universal material compatibility covering ferrous, stainless, non-ferrous, and superalloy workpieces
• Certified to CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 quality and environmental standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for toolholders accepting the 16 ER insert style in external ISO threading configurations. Confirm toolholder seating geometry and clamping style before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or indexing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or clamp key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert - do not overtighten by hand estimation. Verify thread pitch and insert orientation against the job setup sheet before resuming cutting operations.
