Carmex 16IR1.5ISOMXC Threading Insert Iso 1.5mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX 16IR1.5ISOMXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for internal ISO threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this right-hand insert cuts a 60-degree included angle thread profile at a 1.5 mm pitch. The inscribed circle measures 0.375 inches and the insert thickness is 0.146 inches. Rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, it suits a wide range of production threading applications and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This insert is suited for internal threading on a broad range of workpiece materials, including steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, aluminum, and heat-resistant alloys, corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is used in production turning environments where consistent thread form and tool life are priorities. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in job shops, aerospace, and general manufacturing facilities typically specify this insert for both roughing and finishing thread passes on internal bores.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide substrate for wear resistance and edge stability
• PVD TiN coating applied via physical vapor deposition for reduced friction and extended tool life
• Right-hand cut, 60-degree included angle for ISO metric internal thread profiles
• 1.5 mm pitch suits common ISO metric fastener thread classes
• Inscribed circle of 0.375 inches fits standard 16-series toolholders
• Certified to CE, ISO 13485:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001 quality and environmental standards
• Universal material grade accommodates steel, stainless, cast iron, aluminum, non-ferrous, and superalloy workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use in 16-series internal threading toolholders accepting laydown-style inserts with a 0.375-inch inscribed circle. Compatible with ISO metric thread applications at 1.5 mm pitch across workpiece material grades H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or changing the insert. Ensure the insert pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before torquing the clamp screw. Verify toolholder bore clearance and thread depth programming before initiating the threading cycle.
