Made from solid carbide in the CP500 grade, it carries a TiAlN\/TiN PVD coating for extended tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert features a 60-degree included angle and a 3\/8 inch inscribed circle, with a measured thickness of 0.1366 inches. It is sized and ground for right-hand external threading operations and belongs to the Snap-Tap series. CNC machinists and toolroom operators working on aerospace or precision-threaded components will encounter this insert in standard turret toolholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external UNJ thread-form applications where close-tolerance thread profiles are required. The UNJ thread standard is commonly specified in aerospace and defense manufacturing due to its radiused root form, which reduces stress concentration. The CP500 carbide grade with PVD coating supports cutting across multiple material categories including cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metallic materials, steel, and heat-resistant superalloys, reflected in the workpiece material codes K, M, N, P, and S. It fits standard 16ER-series toolholders used on CNC lathes and turning centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 TPI UNJ external thread form with 60-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCP500 solid carbide grade with TiAlN\/TiN PVD coating for wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch inscribed circle, 0.1366 inches thick for consistent seating in 16ER toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting orientation for standard external threading passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorner radius of 0.0080 inches for controlled thread root geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eISO-standard geometry; compatible with K, M, N, P, and S workpiece material categories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 16ER-series laydown threading toolholders.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or clamp screw driver to secure the insert to the specified clamping torque indicated by the toolholder manufacturer. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to ensure full, flat contact and accurate thread geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16ER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: CP500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\/TiN (PVD Process)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1366 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0080 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge to Theoretical Edge Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFace of Insert to Tip Centerline\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0310 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: K, M, N, P, S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Snap-Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00049868\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SECO TOOLS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560760213810,"sku":"00049868","price":109.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/216ddaa30af5f2fecae8f1d1722038e7.jpg?v=1786456722","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/seco-00049868-threading-insert-18-tpi-unj-carbide-cp500","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
