Carmex 16ER1.5ISOP30 Threading Insert 1.5mm Iso P30

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ER1.5ISOP30 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for external ISO thread turning operations. Manufactured to a P30 grade with a C5 material designation, this uncoated insert is suited for threading steel and similar materials at moderate cutting conditions. It profiles external threads at a 1.5mm pitch and fits toolholders designed for the 16 ER insert style. The 0.375 inch inscribed circle and 0.146 inch thickness conform to standard indexable insert geometry, making toolholder selection straightforward for machinists working with common 16 ER-compatible boring and turning systems.

This insert is used in CNC turning centers and manual lathes for single-point external thread cutting. Right-hand cutting geometry means it advances from right to left along a workpiece in standard lathe orientation. Typical applications include threading carbon steel, alloy steel, and similar ferrous materials in production and job shop environments. The P30 grade offers a balance of wear resistance and toughness suited to interrupted and continuous threading passes on steel components.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at P30 grade for threading steel and ferrous alloys
• 1.5mm ISO pitch for standard metric external threading
• Right-hand external cutting geometry in 16 ER insert style
• Uncoated finish allows direct inspection of cutting edge condition
• 0.375 inch inscribed circle fits standard 16 ER toolholder pockets
• C5 material grade provides toughness suited to moderate feed threading passes

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for 16 ER style indexable threading toolholders accepting a 0.375 inch inscribed circle laydown insert geometry.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed and replaced by machinists or tooling technicians on CNC or manual turning equipment. Power down and lock out the spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use a torque wrench and the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping screw to seat the insert without over-tightening. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and edge geometry.
