Built to the 3ER style with a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle, this insert carries a TiN (titanium nitride) PVD coating applied over a solid carbide substrate for extended edge life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The 60-degree included angle matches the UNJ thread standard profile, making it suitable for aerospace and high-reliability fastener thread production. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators use this insert in production threading applications where thread-root radius and form accuracy are critical to specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is rated for universal workpiece material compatibility, covering cast iron, non-ferrous metals, non-metallic materials, steel, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys  -  corresponding to ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is suited for external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers in both job-shop and production environments where UNJ thread forms are required by engineering drawing or military specification. Right-hand cutting orientation is standard for this configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3ER insert style with 3\/8-inch inscribed circle for standard laydown toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for wear resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60-degree included angle  -  correct profile for UNJ external thread forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 TPI external threading, right-hand cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal material compatibility: ISO groups H, K, M, N, P, and S\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured to ISO 9001:2008 and MIL-S-8879C standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 3ER-style laydown threading toolholders configured for external UNJ thread applications.

Power down and lock out the machine before seating or changing the insert. Ensure the toolholder pocket and clamping screw are clean and free of chips before seating the insert to maintain accurate thread form geometry. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidance for the clamping screw  -  do not overtighten, as carbide inserts are brittle and can fracture under excessive clamping load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3ER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: VKX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal (ISO groups H, K, M, N, P, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO 9001:2008, MIL-S-8879C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 51271\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VARGUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911806910770,"sku":"51271","price":314.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f5380333568db365b8630eecf2a9f762_45975c9e-6548-47e7-a12d-13ae1960867a.jpg?v=1791219986","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vargus-51271-threading-insert-3er12unj-vkx-12-tpi-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
