Seco 00050084 Laydown Threading Insert 16ER CP500 Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00050084 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for external partial profile 60-degree thread cutting. It carries the CP500 manufacturer grade and uses a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating for wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. The insert handles a thread pitch range of 48 to 16 TPI (0.50 to 1.50 mm pitch), making it a versatile choice for right-hand external threading operations. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.1366 inches, it fits standard 16ER-style toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators working on universal workpiece materials including ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless, and high-temperature alloys will find this insert suitable for a wide range of threading jobs.

This insert is suited for use on CNC lathes and turning centers where external partial profile 60-degree threads are being cut. The 48 to 16 TPI range covers common unified and metric thread profiles produced to ISO standards. The A1 chipbreaker geometry supports consistent chip formation during threading passes. It is appropriate for job shop, production, and maintenance environments where a single insert grade needs to handle multiple material types without frequent grade changes.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for 16ER-style external threading toolholders in the Snap-Tap series. Consult your toolholder documentation to confirm seat geometry and clamping compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Insert seating and clamping should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's torque and clamping procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating the new insert. Follow shop safety protocols and applicable OSHA machine guarding requirements when working on CNC turning equipment.
