Built from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN\/TiN coating, this insert belongs to the Snap-Tap series and carries the CP500 grade designation. The 60-degree included angle suits standard UN thread profiles, while the 3\/8-inch inscribed circle and 0.1366-inch thickness conform to the 16EL insert style. It is installed by machinists and CNC lathe operators working on threaded components in production or job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is used in external threading operations where a left-hand UN thread form is required. The CP500 grade with TiAlN\/TiN finish provides wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials, including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metallic materials, steel, and heat-resistant alloys, corresponding to ISO material codes K, M, N, P, and S. Typical applications include threading shafts, fasteners, and fittings on CNC lathes and manual threading setups equipped for Snap-Tap-style toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiAlN\/TiN coating for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand external UN thread profile at 18 TPI with 60-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCP500 grade rated for universal workpiece material compatibility across ISO codes K, M, N, P, and S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnap-Tap series 16EL insert style with 3\/8-inch inscribed circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.1366-inch insert thickness for precise laydown seating in compatible toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO-standard geometry for consistent thread form accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement threading insert for Snap-Tap series toolholders accepting the 16EL insert style with a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and index threading inserts with the machine fully stopped and the spindle locked.
