Seco 00077783 Threading Insert 16ER CP500 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SECO 00077783 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert engineered for external ISO threading operations. It carries the CP500 manufacturer grade with a micrograin carbide substrate and a PVD-applied TiAlN/TiN coating. The insert is configured in a right-hand orientation and produces a 60-degree included angle conforming to ISO thread standards at a 1.50 mm pitch. The A2 chipbreaker geometry supports consistent chip control during threading passes. With a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a thickness of 0.1366 inches, this insert mounts in compatible Snap Tap toolholders and is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments.

This insert is optimized for threading stainless steel workpieces, designated workpiece material code M under ISO classification. The 16ER insert style targets external thread profiles on turned parts, making it applicable in CNC lathe and turning center setups where ISO metric thread forms are required. The PVD TiAlN/TiN coating provides wear resistance and thermal stability suited to the cutting demands of stainless and other M-group alloys. It ships in single-insert packaging with a minimum order quantity of 2 inserts per transaction.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement threading insert for Snap Tap series toolholders accepting the 16ER insert style with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle seating dimension.

Installation Notes

Machinists and CNC operators should ensure the toolholder pocket is clean and free of debris before seating the insert. Confirm the clamping screw torque matches the toolholder manufacturer specification. Power down or lock out the machine spindle before any insert change. Do not use a damaged or chipped insert, as it will compromise thread form accuracy and may damage the workpiece or holder.
