Carmex 16ERAG60BXC Threading Insert 60 Degree 3/8 Inch Ic

Product Description

The CARMEX 16ERAG60BXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for external partial-profile threading operations. It cuts a 60-degree included angle and covers a thread range of 48 to 8 TPI, with a pitch range of 0.50 to 3.00 mm. The insert measures 0.375 inches inscribed circle and 0.146 inches thick, with a PVD-applied TiN coating for wear resistance. It is right-hand configured, suitable for use on CNC lathes and turning centers in production threading applications across a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in job shop or production environments are the primary installers.

This insert is suited for external threading on general metalworking applications. The universal workpiece material classification means it is rated for use across carbon steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous alloys, high-temperature alloys, and titanium alloys. It is a strong candidate for threading operations on shafts, fasteners, connectors, and other externally threaded components. The insert style is 16ER, a common laydown format used in standard threading toolholders designed for that insert geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on CNC or manual lathes with appropriate threading toolholders. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use a torque wrench or insert key per toolholder manufacturer specifications when clamping. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for debris or damage before seating a new insert.
