Tool-flo 5006610AC22A Laydown Threading Insert 10 Tpi

Product Description

The TOOL-FLO 5006610AC22A is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for external UN thread cutting at 10 threads per inch (TPI). Finished with a PVD-applied AlTiN coating, this insert delivers extended tool life when threading universal workpiece materials across a broad hardness range. The 16ER insert style features a 60-degree included angle, a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, and a 0.145-inch thickness. Right-hand cutting geometry makes it the standard choice for conventional external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers.

This insert is suited for external threading operations on materials classified under universal workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S - covering steels, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, and heat-resistant alloys. The A2 chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during threading passes. Typical installation environments include production turning shops and job shops running CNC lathes where consistent thread form and insert repeatability are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD AlTiN coating for elevated wear and heat resistance
• 16ER insert style with 60-degree included angle for UN external thread profile
• 10 TPI cutting specification with 1.00 mm pitch
• A2 chipbreaker for managed chip evacuation during threading passes
• 3/8-inch inscribed circle, 0.145-inch thickness, 0.012-inch corner radius
• Right-hand cutting orientation for standard external threading setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders accepting 16ER laydown threading insert style; compatible with universal workpiece materials including steels, stainless steels, non-ferrous alloys, and heat-resistant alloys (material codes H, K, M, N, P, S) for external UN thread forms at 10 TPI.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals on CNC lathes or turning centers. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or changing inserts. Verify the toolholder pocket is clean and free of debris before inserting to ensure proper seating and thread form accuracy. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for the clamping screw - do not overtighten.
