Manufactured from solid carbide with a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating, this insert delivers consistent thread form and extended tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. It belongs to the Mini L series and features a 5mm inscribed circle (IC) with a 2.4mm thickness and a 60-degree included angle. It is intended for use by machinists and CNC operators in production threading applications where precise, repeatable NPT thread profiles are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for internal NPT threading operations on lathes and turning centers in both job shop and production environments. The 5LKIR insert style and compact 5mm IC make it well matched for smaller-bore internal thread work. The universal primary workpiece material designation covers a broad range of materials including stainless steels, cast irons, aluminum alloys, carbon steels, titanium alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys, corresponding to ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with TiN PVD coating for wear resistance and surface hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand internal NPT thread profile at 18 TPI with a 60-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5mm inscribed circle and 2.4mm thickness in the compact Mini L series profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-tooth design (1 tooth per side) for controlled thread engagement in tight bores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal material compatibility across ISO groups H, K, M, N, P, and S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ISO 9001:2008 and USAS B2.1:1968 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in toolholders accepting the 5LKIR insert style.

Seat the insert fully against the pocket locating surfaces and confirm proper clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before installing a new insert. Do not run the insert beyond its rated wear threshold, as degraded cutting edges will produce out-of-tolerance thread forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (USAS B2.1:1968)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 TPI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5LKIR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mini L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: VKX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal (ISO Groups H, K, M, N, P, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.36 x 0.98 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2008, USAS B2.1:1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VARGUS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 029-00174\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VARGUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67919070298418,"sku":"029-00174","price":206.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/276ec5e4e2c6f093135d88aa2ae5484a_a8a47584-0323-4adb-905a-6aa77795dcca.jpg?v=1791275674","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vargus-029-00174-threading-insert-18-tpi-npt-carbide-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
