Vargus 50296 Carbide Thread Mill Insert 2.5mm 10 Tpi

Product Description

The VARGUS 50296 is a carbide thread mill insert designed for internal thread milling operations. Manufactured from micrograin carbide with a PVD-applied TiCN coating, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance in demanding threading applications. It is configured as a partial profile 60-degree insert, suitable for generating internal threads at a 2.5mm pitch and 10 teeth per inch. The 2UI insert style and 6.35mm inscribed circle make it a compact, precise tooling component. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and tool-and-die professionals working with threaded components rely on this insert for repeatable, close-tolerance thread profiles.

This insert is intended for use in thread milling operations on CNC machining centers and multi-axis machines where internal threading is required. The partial profile 60-degree geometry accommodates a range of thread standards within that angle family. It is well suited to production environments where consistent thread quality across multiple workpiece materials is required. The TiCN coating provides surface hardness and lubricity that extends tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Micrograin carbide substrate for enhanced edge stability and wear resistance
• PVD TiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction during cutting
• Partial profile 60-degree thread standard for broad internal threading compatibility
• 2.5mm pitch and 10 TPI configuration for precise thread generation
• 6.35mm inscribed circle for compact insert seating in thread mill bodies
• VBX manufacturer grade designation for quality-controlled carbide performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement insert for thread mill toolholders accepting the 2UI insert style with a 6.35mm inscribed circle.

Installation Notes

Installation of thread mill inserts should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is secured in an appropriate tool holder before seating or replacing inserts. Use the correct torque driver for insert screws to avoid cracking the carbide substrate. Follow the toolholder manufacturer guidelines for insert indexing and clamping procedures.
