Vargus 52195 Threading Insert 3IRA60 Vtx Solid Carbide 48-16 Tpi

Product Description

The VARGUS 52195 is a solid carbide laydown threading insert designed for internal thread cutting on CNC lathes and turning centers. Designated style 3IRA60, this insert produces partial profile 60-degree threads on the right-hand internal path, covering a range of 48 to 16 TPI (0.50 to 1.50 mm pitch). The VTX grade substrate receives a PVD-applied TiAlN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The 9.53 mm (3/8 inch) inscribed circle and 3.60 mm thickness conform to standard laydown pocket geometry, making this a direct fit in compatible toolholders.

This insert is suited for internal threading operations on a broad range of materials, including ferrous steels, stainless steels, cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, and high-temperature alloys, consistent with the universal workpiece material classification (H, K, M, N, P, S). It is typically installed by machinists and CNC programmers working in production turning environments where consistent thread form and surface finish are required across multiple passes.

• Right-hand internal partial profile 60-degree thread form
• 9.53 mm inscribed circle (3/8 inch) fits standard 3IR laydown toolholder pockets
• 3.60 mm insert thickness for rigid seating and repeatable indexing
• Universal material compatibility across H, K, M, N, P, and S workpiece categories
• Manufactured to ISO 9001:2008 quality standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in toolholders accepting 3IR-style laydown threading inserts with a 9.53 mm inscribed circle and standard 3IR pocket geometry. No specific toolholder model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the toolholder manufacturer's clamping torque and seating procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before indexing or replacing inserts. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips before seating to prevent rocking or improper clamping. Use the correct torque wrench for the clamp screw to avoid cracking the carbide substrate.
