Seco 00049532 Threading Insert 60 Deg 48-8 Tpi Carbide CP500

Product Description

The SECO 00049532 is a laydown threading insert designed for external thread cutting operations. It features a partial profile 60-degree thread form with a left-hand cutting orientation and covers a range of 48 to 8 TPI with a metric pitch range of 0.50 to 3.00 mm. The insert is manufactured from solid carbide in the CP500 grade and carries a TiAlN/TiN PVD coating for extended tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The 16EL insert style fits compatible Snap-Tap toolholders. Inscribed circle diameter measures 3/8 inches and insert thickness is 0.1366 inches. This insert is suited for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC lathes and manual threading setups.

This insert is intended for external threading applications where a left-hand partial profile 60-degree thread form is required. The CP500 grade and universal material code classification make it applicable across steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. It is commonly used in production and maintenance machining environments where consistent thread form and insert interchangeability are priorities. The Snap-Tap series designation indicates compatibility with the corresponding SECO toolholder platform designed for laydown-style threading inserts.

Installation Notes

Threading inserts are installed and replaced by machinists or tool crib technicians following machine lockout/tagout procedures before any insert change. Ensure the toolholder pocket is clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified screw to clamp the insert without overloading the carbide. Confirm thread direction and insert hand orientation match the intended operation before initiating a cut.
