Carmex 22IRN60BXC Laydown Threading Insert Solid Carbide

Product Description

The CARMEX 22IRN60BXC is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for internal partial-profile 60-degree thread cutting. Finished with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this insert handles a thread pitch range of 7 to 5 TPI (3.50 to 5.00 mm pitch) and is manufactured to consistent dimensional standards with a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.1870 inches. The BXC grade and TiN coating extend tool life across a broad range of workpiece materials. This insert is sized and configured for use in standard laydown toolholders and is typically installed by machinists and CNC lathe operators running internal threading operations.

The 22IRN60BXC is suited for right-hand internal threading applications in both production and job-shop environments. Its universal workpiece material classification covers ferrous and non-ferrous metals, heat-resistant alloys, and stainless steels, making it a versatile choice for threading bores in a wide range of components. The 60-degree included angle is the standard for unified and metric thread forms, broadening its application across common thread standards. It is packaged individually and sold with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and seating should be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the toolholder secured. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer when clamping the insert. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating a new insert to ensure proper contact and prevent premature edge failure. Follow shop-specific feeds and speeds documentation for the workpiece material and thread pitch being cut.
