Value Collection ICT36201M Threading Insert 3/8 Inch Ic

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICT36201M is a solid carbide, on-edge threading insert designed to cut 60-degree V-form threads on both external and internal applications. Built to manufacturer grade I22 and material grade C2, this insert delivers consistent thread profiles in a wide range of turning and boring operations. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well-suited for applications where coating buildup could affect thread accuracy. At 0.125 inches thick and a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, it is a compact, precision-ground insert intended for use in compatible toolholders on CNC lathes and manual threading setups.

This insert is used in metalworking and machining environments wherever 60-degree V-form threads must be produced on external diameters or internal bores. Typical applications include threading operations on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals in job shop, production, and maintenance machining settings. The TPMC insert style and 3/8-inch IC size are standard configurations found in a broad range of indexable threading toolholders. Machinists and CNC operators working on general-purpose threading tasks are the primary users of this insert.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction at material grade C2 for consistent wear resistance in threading applications
• Cuts 60-degree V-form threads for both external and internal thread profiles
• Bright, uncoated finish reduces built-up edge risk on non-ferrous and softer ferrous materials
• TPMC insert style with 3/8-inch inscribed circle fits standard on-edge threading toolholders
• Insert size code 32 with a 0.151-inch hole diameter for secure positive clamping
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds per insert, minimizing mass in high-speed indexing operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in on-edge indexable threading toolholders accepting TPMC-style inserts with a 3/8-inch inscribed circle and a 0.151-inch hole diameter. Confirm toolholder specifications before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of indexable threading inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping instructions. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the correct torx or hex key as specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp screw to proper engagement. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating the new insert to ensure accurate thread-form positioning.
