It features a 60-degree included angle, a 3\/8 inch (0.375 inch) inscribed circle, and a thickness of 0.146 inches. The PVD-applied TiAlN coating provides wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. This is a right-hand insert intended for use on CNC lathes and turning centers where precision external threading is required. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this insert into compatible 16 ER style toolholders for high-accuracy thread form generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external UN threading operations in both production and job-shop environments. The submicron carbide grade and universal material designation make it applicable across a wide range of materials including steels, stainless alloys, cast irons, nonferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. It is a practical choice for shops threading fastener features, fittings, and mechanical components to UN thread standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide submicron grade for extended tool life and edge integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiAlN PVD coating for heat resistance and reduced flank wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 TPI UN thread form with 60-degree included angle for standard UN profile accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand external thread orientation for conventional lathe threading passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch inscribed circle with 0.146 inch thickness for 16 ER style toolholder seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified to CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 16 ER style laydown threading toolholders for external UN thread applications.
