Vargus 50008 Carbide Thread Mill Insert Vbx Tialn 60 Degree

Product Description

The VARGUS 50008 is a 2UI-style carbide thread mill insert designed for internal thread milling operations on steel workpieces. Manufactured from micrograin carbide and coated with a TiAlN finish applied via PVD process, this insert delivers consistent thread form across a pitch range of 1.5 to 2.0 mm (16 to 12 TPI). The partial profile 60-degree thread standard makes it suitable for a range of unified and metric thread forms. It carries a 6.35 mm inscribed circle and is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units. Installation is performed by qualified machinists operating CNC milling centers.

This insert is intended for internal thread milling on steel and similar P-group workpiece materials. The 2UI insert style and VBX grade designation indicate suitability for demanding thread milling cycles where tool life and surface finish consistency are critical. Typical applications include production threading of tapped holes in ferrous components where a dedicated thread mill is preferred over a tap, particularly in interrupted cuts or blind-hole applications where chip evacuation control matters.

Key Features

• Micrograin carbide substrate for wear resistance in steel threading applications
• TiAlN PVD coating extends tool life in dry and semi-dry cutting conditions
• Partial profile 60-degree thread standard covers a range of unified and metric thread forms
• Pitch range of 1.5 to 2.0 mm (16-12 TPI) supports multiple thread sizes with a single insert
• 6.35 mm inscribed circle for precise seating in compatible thread mill bodies
• 2UI insert style for use in compatible VARGUS VBX thread mill toolholders

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Thread mill insert replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque and seating procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in a suitable holder before handling inserts. Verify insert orientation and seating before resuming cutting operations. Follow applicable shop safety and machine guarding procedures during any tooling change.
