Carmex C18I0.5ISOMT7 Threading Insert Iso MT7

Product Description

The CARMEX C18I0.5ISOMT7 is a single-point threading insert designed for cutting internal ISO-standard threads on CNC lathes and turning centers. Built from a submicron carbide substrate and finished with a TiAlN coating, it delivers extended tool life and consistent thread form in demanding production environments. The MT7 manufacturer grade targets general-purpose to medium-duty threading applications. This insert is specified and installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in precision machining shops and manufacturing facilities.

This insert is suited for internal threading operations where ISO thread standards are required. It fits applications in job shops, aerospace component machining, hydraulic fitting production, and general industrial manufacturing. The C18 insert style designates the specific geometry and seating configuration used in compatible toolholders. Typical applications include threading bores in steel, stainless steel, and similar machinable alloys where a TiAlN-coated submicron grade provides an advantage over uncoated options.

Key Features

• TiAlN finish provides heat resistance and extended cutting edge life in ferrous materials
• Submicron carbide substrate delivers toughness and wear resistance in demanding threading cycles
• MT7 manufacturer grade suited for general-purpose to medium-duty internal threading
• ISO thread standard compatibility for use in metric threading applications
• C18 insert style for consistent seating and repeatable thread form in matching toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement threading insert for CNC turning toolholders accepting the C18 insert style for internal ISO threading applications.

Installation Notes

Threading inserts are installed and replaced by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to secure the insert clamp to the manufacturer-specified seating torque noted in the toolholder documentation. Inspect the insert pocket and clamp for debris or wear before seating a new insert to ensure proper support and thread accuracy.
