Manufactured in the 3ER insert style with a VTX grade and PVD-applied TiAlN coating, this insert delivers consistent thread form in a wide range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and superalloys. The 60-degree included angle produces standard UN thread geometry conforming to ANSI B1.1:74. Right-hand cutting orientation and a 3.60 mm thickness make it a direct fit for compatible 3ER toolholders used in CNC turning and threading operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers in both production and job-shop environments. The universal material compatibility designation covers ISO material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S, making it appropriate for shops working across a broad mix of workpiece materials. It is commonly used in industrial machining applications requiring precise, repeatable UN thread profiles on turned components. Machinists and CNC operators in manufacturing and machine shops are the primary installers of this insert type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with VTX grade for wear resistance across universal material groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVD TiAlN coating for extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 TPI external UN thread form with 60-degree included angle per ANSI B1.1:74\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting orientation in 3ER insert style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9.53 mm (3\/8 inch) inscribed circle with 3.60 mm thickness for secure seating in 3ER holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle tooth per side geometry for clean thread profile generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 3ER-style laydown threading toolholders.

Use the appropriate torque wrench and insert key specified by the toolholder manufacturer when seating the insert to avoid cracking the carbide substrate. Verify insert orientation and hand designation against the toolholder before engaging the cut. Inspect the insert seat and clamping components for debris or wear before installing a new insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: VTX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiAlN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External\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\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscribed Circle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.53 mm (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal (ISO Groups H, K, M, N, P, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.1:74, ISO 9001:2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23291804\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: 51291\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VARGUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910017220914,"sku":"51291","price":322.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f713f09d129293ba4eb8c205c710a302_1e7f6ebb-c2b2-419c-a2e0-ad0f0b633493.jpg?v=1791194813","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vargus-51291-laydown-threading-insert-3er12un-vtx-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
