Vargus 50635 Laydown Threading Insert 60 Degree 48-8 Tpi

Product Description

The VARGUS 50635 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for left-hand external partial-profile 60-degree thread cutting applications. Manufactured in the VKX grade with a PVD-applied TiN coating, this insert is built for durability and thermal resistance across a wide range of workpiece materials. It covers a thread range of 48 to 8 TPI with a corresponding pitch range of 0.50 to 3.00 mm. The 9.53 mm (3/8 inch) inscribed circle and 3.60 mm thickness conform to standard insert geometry. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this insert in compatible laydown threading toolholders for turning center and lathe threading operations.

This insert is suited for external threading on CNC lathes and turning centers where left-hand thread generation is required. The partial profile 60-degree geometry accommodates a broad TPI range, making it a practical choice for shops running varied threading jobs without changing insert style. The universal primary workpiece material classification means it is rated for use across steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, aluminum, and heat-resistant alloys corresponding to material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S.

Key Features

• Inscribed circle of 9.53 mm (3/8 inch) with 3.60 mm thickness for standard laydown seating
• Corner radius of 0.080 inch for consistent thread root geometry
• Universal material compatibility rated for H, K, M, N, P, and S workpiece categories
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 quality standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in laydown threading toolholders that accept the 3EL insert style with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle. Verify toolholder seat geometry and clamping system before installation. No specific model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with indexable insert threading toolholders. Power down and lock out the machine before seating or indexing the insert. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before seating the insert. Confirm insert orientation for left-hand thread direction before initiating a threading pass.
