Designed with a TiCN finish applied via PVD coating, this insert carries a micrograin carbide substrate under the VBX manufacturer grade designation. It covers a pitch range of 1.5 to 2.0 mm, equivalent to 16 to 12 TPI, making it well-suited for moderate-pitch internal thread milling in a single tool path. The insert style is 2UI with an inscribed circle of 6.35 mm. Machinists and tooling specialists working in CNC milling environments install this insert into compatible thread mill bodies for precision thread generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is intended for thread milling applications involving non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium workpieces, corresponding to workpiece material code N. It is used in CNC machining centers performing internal thread milling where a partial profile 60-degree standard is required. The 1.5 to 2.0 mm pitch range suits a broad range of fastener thread sizes commonly encountered in aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing work. The VBX grade with TiCN PVD coating provides wear resistance appropriate for the listed workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrograin carbide substrate with TiCN PVD coating for wear resistance in non-ferrous and superalloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartial profile 60-degree thread standard covers a wide range of metric and unified internal thread forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch range of 1.5 to 2.0 mm (16 to 12 TPI) in a single insert reduces tooling changeovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2UI insert style with 6.35 mm inscribed circle for use in compatible VARGUS thread mill bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVBX manufacturer grade optimized for non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with compatible VARGUS 2UI-style thread mill bodies accepting a size-2 insert with a 6.35 mm inscribed circle.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in the holder before seating or removing the insert. Follow the tool body manufacturer torque guidelines for clamping screws and inspect seating surfaces for debris before installation. Refer to applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool documentation when handling carbide inserts, as edges are sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2UI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Micrograin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: VBX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Internal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partial Profile 60 Degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 to 2.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 to 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Ferrous Metal, Superalloy, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.44 inches (L) x 1.18 inches (W) x 0.94 inches (H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.423 pounds\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: 50018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VARGUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67906427224370,"sku":"50018","price":343.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ac6d5188e897baa1016610a20c0edc02.jpg?v=1791168061","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vargus-50018-carbide-thread-mill-insert-16-12-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
