Carmex 22IR6ACMEP30 Laydown Threading Insert 6 Tpi

Product Description

The CARMEX 22IR6ACMEP30 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for cutting internal Acme threads on CNC lathes and threading equipment. Built to the Acme thread standard, it produces right-hand internal threads at 6 threads per inch (TPI) with a 29-degree included angle. The insert features a 0.5-inch inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.187 inches, and it is supplied in an uncoated bright finish. Grade P30 carbide gives this insert broad material compatibility across a wide range of workpiece types. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC operators install these inserts as part of production threading operations.

This insert is suited for internal Acme thread applications in both production and jobbing environments. The Acme thread form is commonly used in power-transmission components such as lead screws, jack screws, and feed mechanisms. Its universal workpiece material compatibility makes it usable on carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and high-temperature alloys. The 22 IR insert style seats in compatible laydown-style toolholders designed for the 22 insert size code.

Compatibility

Designed for use in laydown-style toolholders that accept the 22 IR insert size. Compatible workpiece material codes include H, K, M, N, P, and S, covering a universal range of metallic workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by CNC machinists or toolroom technicians using the appropriate torx or hex key to seat the insert in a compatible 22 IR laydown toolholder. Confirm the toolholder pocket is clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Always stop the spindle and follow lockout-tagout procedures before changing inserts. Do not exceed the cutting parameters specified for the P30 grade and the workpiece material being machined.
