Vargus 28134 Laydown Threading Insert

Product Description

The VARGUS 28134 is a laydown threading insert designed for precision thread-cutting operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. Part of the Vargus Microscope series, this insert seats in a laydown orientation, providing stable tool engagement and consistent thread form across production runs. It is used by machinists and toolroom technicians working with threaded components in metalworking, manufacturing, and industrial fabrication environments. The compact geometry and controlled dimensions make it well suited for threading applications where repeatability and insert rigidity are critical.

This threading insert is applied in single-point threading operations on lathes and turning equipment. It fits standard laydown threading toolholders compatible with the Vargus Microscope series. Typical use cases include threading of workpieces in general metalworking shops, job shops, and precision machining facilities. The insert ships individually and is ordered in single-unit quantities, making it practical for toolroom stock replenishment or targeted replacement of worn inserts.
