Featuring a 3IR insert style with a 60-degree included angle, this insert is built for right-hand internal threading operations on CNC lathes and turning centers. The VKX grade carbide substrate is paired with a PVD-applied TiN coating, which improves wear resistance and extends tool life across a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 9.53 mm (3\/8 inch) inscribed circle and a thickness of 3.60 mm, the 52553 fits standard 3IR toolholders and delivers consistent thread form to ANSI B1.1:74 specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for single-point internal threading on production and job-shop turning operations where UN thread profiles are required. The universal workpiece material compatibility covers carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys, making it a versatile option for shops that run varied material types. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, general manufacturing, and industrial component production will find this insert applicable across a broad range of threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid carbide construction with PVD TiN coating for extended wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand internal UN thread form, 16 TPI, 60-degree included angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3IR insert style, fits standard 3IR internal threading toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9.53 mm inscribed circle (3\/8 inch) with 3.60 mm thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal workpiece material compatibility: carbon steel, stainless, cast iron, non-ferrous, and superalloys\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI B1.1:74 thread standard; manufactured under ISO 9001:2008 quality system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for standard 3IR internal threading toolholders accepting a 3\/8 inch inscribed circle laydown insert.
