Seco 00049762 Threading Insert 10 Tpi 3/8 Inch Ic

Product Description

The SECO 00049762 is a laydown threading insert designed for external UN thread cutting at 10 threads per inch (TPI). Part of the Snap-Tap series, it is manufactured from solid carbide with a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN finish in SECO grade CP500. The insert features a 60-degree included angle and a 3/8-inch inscribed circle (IC), with a thickness of 0.1366 inches. It is suited for right-hand external threading operations on a wide range of workpiece materials classified under universal material groups. Machinists and CNC turning professionals install this insert on compatible threading toolholders for high-precision thread form generation.

This insert is used in CNC lathes and turning centers for producing UN-standard external threads at 10 TPI. The universal primary workpiece material classification (K, M, N, P, S material codes) makes it applicable across cast iron, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, steel, and heat-resistant alloys. It is well suited for production threading in job shop and industrial manufacturing environments where consistent thread form accuracy and insert-to-insert repeatability are required.

Compatibility

Designed for use with toolholders accepting the 16ER insert style. Compatible with external threading applications requiring a UN thread standard at 10 TPI with a right-hand cutting orientation. Verify toolholder seating pocket specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the turret is indexed to a safe position before changing inserts. Use the correct torque wrench or insert clamp screw driver specified by the toolholder manufacturer — do not overtighten the clamping screw. Confirm the insert seats fully and flush in the pocket before resuming any cutting operation.
