Seco 00068007 Threading Insert 6 Tpi Un Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00068007 is a laydown-style threading insert designed for external UN thread cutting at 6 threads per inch. Built from solid carbide and coated via PVD with a TiAlN/TiN finish under the CP500 grade designation, this insert delivers consistent thread form accuracy and wear resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. It features a 60-degree included angle and a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle diameter, with a thickness of 0.1854 inches. The insert is part of the Snap Tap series and is suited for right-hand external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers.

This insert is applied in external UN threading operations on turning equipment where a right-hand, 60-degree thread form at 6 TPI is required. The CP500 grade with PVD coating supports use across universal primary workpiece materials, classified under material codes K, M, N, P, and S per ISO standards. It is appropriate for both production and job-shop threading applications on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Each package contains one insert, with a minimum order quantity of two units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified CNC machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is secured before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamp screw to secure the insert without over-tightening, which can cause insert or seat damage. Verify thread pitch and insert orientation against the job setup sheet before beginning a threading pass.
