Carmex 16ER10ACMEP30 Threading Insert 10 Tpi Acme P30

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ER10ACMEP30 is a solid carbide, uncoated laydown threading insert engineered for external Acme thread forms. Running at 10 threads per inch (TPI) with a 29-degree included angle, this insert delivers precise Acme thread geometry in a right-hand cutting configuration. The insert measures 3/8 inch (0.3750 inches) inscribed circle and 0.1460 inches thick. Manufactured to the P30 grade (Material Grade C5), it is suited for threading operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom operators install this insert in compatible 16ER-style toolholders on CNC lathes and manual turning equipment.

This insert is intended for external Acme threading applications on both CNC and conventional lathes. Acme threads are commonly produced on leadscrews, power screws, vises, and linear motion components found in industrial and manufacturing environments. The universal workpiece material compatibility (material codes H, K, M, N, P, S) makes the 16ER10ACMEP30 a practical choice for threading steel, stainless, cast iron, nonferrous alloys, and high-temperature materials in production or toolroom settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction, uncoated, for consistent thread geometry and dimensional accuracy
• Acme external thread form with 29-degree included angle and 10 TPI
• Right-hand cutting orientation for standard external threading operations
• 3/8 inch inscribed circle (0.3750 inches) in the 16ER insert size format
• P30 manufacturer grade (C5 material grade) for broad material compatibility across codes H, K, M, N, P, and S
• Certified to CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in 16ER-style threading toolholders. Confirm toolholder seat geometry and insert pocket dimensions match the 16ER laydown insert specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians on CNC or manual turning equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and clamp screw for the toolholder system to secure the insert without cracking the carbide substrate. Verify thread form and TPI against the workpiece drawing before initiating the threading pass.
