It carries the VKX manufacturer grade with a TiN coating applied via PVD process, delivering wear resistance suited for threading operations across a broad range of workpiece materials. The 3ER insert style features a 3\/8-inch inscribed circle and a 60-degree included angle conforming to the UN thread profile. Licensed machinists and CNC lathe operators use this insert for high-precision external threading on production and job-shop turning centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for external threading on universal workpiece materials, covering ferrous, non-ferrous, stainless, heat-resistant alloys, and cast materials as indicated by material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It fits standard 3ER toolholders and is appropriate for both general-purpose and high-volume external thread turning in the 20 TPI UN class. Applications span aerospace, automotive, and general industrial manufacturing where consistent UN thread form accuracy is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with VKX grade for extended tool life in threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating applied by PVD process for surface hardness and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand external UN thread form at 20 TPI with 60-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch inscribed circle in 3ER insert style for use with standard laydown toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal material compatibility covering steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, and heat-resistant alloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI B1.1:74 UN thread standard and manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3ER laydown threading toolholders.
