Built in the 5ER insert style, it features a TiAlN coating applied via PVD process, which improves heat resistance and extends cutting life across a wide range of workpiece materials. The insert has a 60-degree included angle, a 15.88 mm (0.625 inches) inscribed circle, and a thickness of 6.35 mm. It is intended for right-hand thread cutting and suits CNC lathes and turning centers used in production threading operations. Machinists and tool and die professionals specify this insert for consistent UN-profile thread quality on external features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 58988 is suited for external threading on workpieces across multiple material categories, including carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast irons, aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, and heat-resistant superalloys. This broad material compatibility is reflected in the primary workpiece material codes H, K, M, N, P, and S. It is appropriate for both production shop and job shop environments where UN thread forms to ANSI B1.1:74 are required on turned components. The insert fits standard 5ER toolholders and seats in laydown orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating for extended tool life across diverse materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 TPI external UN thread profile conforming to ANSI B1.1:74\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5ER laydown insert style with 0.625-inch inscribed circle for rigid, repeatable seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60-degree included angle for standard UN and metric-compatible thread forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting geometry for standard external threading operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with material groups H, K, M, N, P, and S for broad application coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement-style threading insert for standard 5ER laydown toolholders used in external UN thread turning applications.

The machine spindle must be stopped and the turret or toolpost must be safely indexed or locked out before seating or replacing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or clamp screw driver specified for the toolholder to secure the insert to the correct clamping torque per the toolholder manufacturer's documentation. Inspect the insert pocket for chips or debris before seating to ensure proper contact and accurate thread form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5ER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\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\u003eThreads Per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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: 15.88 mm (0.625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.35 mm\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material Codes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\u003eNumber of Teeth Per Side\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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: 58988\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VARGUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908090495282,"sku":"58988","price":281.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f713f09d129293ba4eb8c205c710a302_43e1364b-2d59-4ef6-acb2-feb93029d3d0.jpg?v=1791182438","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/vargus-58988-threading-insert-4-5-tpi-un-solid-carbide","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
