Carmex 16ER32UNBXC Threading Insert 32 Tpi 3/8 in Ic

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ER32UNBXC is a laydown-style threading insert designed for right-hand external UN thread cutting at 32 threads per inch (TPI). Manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this insert delivers consistent thread form geometry on a 60-degree included angle. The inscribed circle measures 3/8 inch (0.3750 inches) and the insert thickness is 0.1460 inches. It carries the BXC grade designation and is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, making it suitable across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Machinists and CNC operators working on threaded external profiles will find this insert suited to production threading on lathes and turning centers.

This insert is applicable to external UN thread forms on general machining operations including job shop and production environments. The universal primary workpiece material rating covers material groups coded H, K, M, N, P, and S, spanning cast iron, non-ferrous metals, stainless steels, heat-resistant alloys, steel, and similar materials. The 16 ER insert style is a widely used laydown threading geometry compatible with standard 16 ER toolholders used in CNC turning and manual lathe applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing inserts. Seat the insert securely in the toolholder pocket and verify torque on the clamping screw per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Confirm thread pitch and hand orientation against workpiece drawing requirements before commencing the threading pass.
