Value Collection CD6497 On-edge Threading Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD6497 is an on-edge threading insert designed for use in threading and turning operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. With an insert style of TNMA and an insert size code of 54, this carbide-style indexable insert seats on its edge to engage the workpiece at a specific cutting geometry optimized for thread-form accuracy. It is installed and replaced by machinists and toolroom technicians during routine insert indexing or end-of-life changeover. The insert weighs approximately 0.05 pounds, making it a lightweight, single-use consumable within a standard toolholder system.

On-edge threading inserts are typically used in production and job-shop environments where external or internal threading is performed on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The TNMA insert style is a common geometry suited to threading toolholders that accept this form factor. This insert is appropriate for both light-production threading runs and precision single-point thread chasing on manual or CNC equipment.

Key Features

• On-edge seating geometry for threading and single-point thread-form operations
• Insert style TNMA for compatibility with standard TNMA-profile threading toolholders
• Insert size code 54 for precise toolholder pocket fitment
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling during insert changeover
• Indexable design allows multiple cutting edges per insert

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement threading insert for standard TNMA-profile toolholders accepting size code 54 inserts. Confirm toolholder pocket geometry and insert style code before installation.

Installation Notes

Threading inserts are installed and indexed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before removing or seating any indexable insert. Use the correct torque wrench or insert-clamping key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp screw. Inspect the toolholder pocket for wear or debris before seating a new insert, as a contaminated pocket can cause premature edge failure or dimensional threading errors.
