Value Collection ICT36241B Threading Insert 60V 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ICT36241B is a solid carbide on-edge threading insert designed for precision thread-cutting operations on CNC lathes and manual turning centers. Built to the 60-degree V thread standard, this insert is suited for producing unified inch-form threads in steel, stainless, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. The insert carries a bright, uncoated finish, making it a strong choice for non-ferrous materials and applications where coating residue or edge buildup is a concern. With a 0.5000-inch inscribed circle and a 0.1875-inch thickness, it fits standard TPMC-style toolholders used in production and job-shop threading work.

This insert is used in threading applications on lathes and turning centers in production machining, tool rooms, and job shops. The on-edge seating style positions the cutting edge for thread-form geometry without requiring a dedicated top-clamp. It is appropriate for external and internal threading passes where a 60-degree V profile is required. The uncoated solid carbide construction and submicron material grade support consistent edge life in finishing and semi-finishing threading cuts.

Key Features

• 60-degree V thread standard for unified inch-form thread profiles
• Solid carbide construction with submicron material grade for edge consistency
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous and aluminum threading
• TPMC insert style fits standard on-edge threading toolholders
• 0.5000-inch inscribed circle with 0.2040-inch hole diameter for secure clamping
• Manufacturer grade I55 for semi-finishing and finishing threading operations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for TPMC-style on-edge threading toolholders requiring a 1/2-inch IC insert with a 60-degree V thread form and 0.2040-inch mounting hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom personnel during toolholder setup on CNC or manual lathes. Power down the spindle and lock the turret or tool post before changing inserts. Seat the insert fully against the toolholder pocket and tighten the clamping screw to the toolholder manufacturer's specified torque. Inspect the cutting edge for chips or damage before engaging the workpiece.
