Seco 00096252 Carbide Thread Mill Insert Un 10 Tpi

Product Description

The SECO 00096252 is a carbide thread mill insert engineered for internal UN thread milling applications. Carrying the F30M manufacturer grade and a C5 material grade, this insert is built for the cutting demands of precision threading operations. The TiAlN coating delivers high heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hard materials. At 3.5 mm thickness and a light 0.02 pounds, this insert is compact and fits dedicated thread mill toolholders used in CNC machining centers. It is installed by machinists and tooling technicians performing thread milling on through or blind holes.

This insert is designed for internal UN thread milling at 10 teeth per inch. It suits production and job-shop environments where thread milling is preferred over tapping for its ability to produce clean threads in hard or difficult-to-machine materials. The non-conical geometry and UN thread standard make it appropriate for standard unified inch thread forms found in general mechanical assemblies. Typical applications include aerospace, automotive, and industrial component machining where thread quality and dimensional accuracy are critical.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate with C5 material grade for wear resistance and cutting stability
• TiAlN coating provides high-temperature resistance and extended insert life
• Internal UN thread standard at 10 teeth per inch for unified inch thread forms
• Insert style 396.19 for use with compatible SECO thread mill toolholders
• Non-conical geometry for standard through and blind hole thread milling
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds for easy handling and quick changeout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for thread mill toolholders accepting the 396.19 insert style in internal UN thread milling configurations.

Installation Notes

Thread mill insert replacement is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating any insert. Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert screw specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert — do not overtighten by hand or with improvised tools. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or damage before seating the new insert to ensure proper seating and thread accuracy.
