Carmex C18G60MT7 Carbide Threading Insert 60 Degree

Product Description

The CARMEX C18G60MT7 is a solid carbide threading insert designed for precision thread-cutting operations on lathes and turning centers. Manufactured in grade MT7 from submicron carbide with a coated finish, this insert delivers consistent thread form across both internal and external applications. The 60-degree included angle conforms to ISO and UN thread standards. It handles external pitch ranges of 0.80 to 1.50 mm and 32 to 16 TPI, and internal pitch ranges of 1.00 to 1.75 mm and 28 to 14 TPI, making it a versatile choice for shops producing threaded components in both metric and unified thread forms.

This insert suits production and job-shop machining environments where ISO and UN threads are cut on a range of materials. It is appropriate for threading operations on CNC turning centers and manual lathes in both light and medium-duty applications. The insert accommodates left-hand and right-hand thread cutting, supporting a wide variety of part geometries. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in general manufacturing, aerospace component production, and industrial fabrication will find this insert well-suited to their threading programs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp to the correct clamping torque per the holder documentation. Inspect the insert seat and clamp for wear or debris before each insert change to ensure accurate thread form and repeatability.
