Carmex 16ER10UNMXC/G Threading Insert 10 Tpi 3/8 in Un

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ER10UNMXC/G is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for right-hand external UN thread cutting at 10 threads per inch (TPI). Built to the 16 ER style with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle and 0.146 inch thickness, this insert carries a PVD-applied TiN coating in the MXC Micrograin grade. The 60-degree included angle conforms to UN thread standards. Machinists and CNC lathe operators install this insert on compatible external threading toolholders for high-precision thread production on a wide range of workpiece materials.

This insert is suited for production threading operations on CNC turning centers and manual lathes requiring UN external threads at 10 TPI. The MXC Micrograin carbide grade and PVD TiN coating make it applicable across universal workpiece material categories, including steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys. It fits standard 16 ER style toolholders used in job shops and production environments where consistent thread form and insert life are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide Micrograin MXC grade for wear resistance across universal materials
• PVD TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• 10 TPI UN external thread profile with 60-degree included angle
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard external threading applications
• 3/8 inch inscribed circle and 0.146 inch thickness conform to 16 ER style standards
• Meets CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for 16 ER style external threading toolholders used in right-hand UN thread cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and de-energize the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench or insert key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert - do not overtighten by hand. Verify thread pitch and form with a thread gauge before returning the machine to production.
