Carmex 16IR1.0ISOP30 Threading Insert Iso P30 Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX 16IR1.0ISOP30 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for internal ISO threading operations. It cuts a right-hand thread at a 1.00 mm pitch with a 60-degree included angle, making it suited for standard ISO metric thread profiles. The insert is uncoated, grade P30 (material grade C5), and measures 0.375 inches inscribed circle with a thickness of 0.146 inches. Machinists and CNC operators install this insert into compatible laydown-style toolholders for single-point threading on lathes and turning centers. The solid carbide construction provides consistent edge geometry across a broad range of workpiece materials.

This insert is used in internal threading applications across both production and job-shop environments. Its universal primary workpiece material rating covers steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, high-temperature alloys, and hardened materials, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is appropriate for CNC turning centers and manual lathes wherever right-hand internal ISO metric threads are required. The uncoated finish suits applications where coated grades are not specified or where regrinding may be needed.

Compatibility

Designed for use in laydown-style internal threading toolholders that accept 16IR-series inserts with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle. Verify toolholder seat and clamping specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or clamping screw driver to secure the insert to the recommended clamping torque specified by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping components for wear or damage before each installation.
