Vargus 62196 Threading Insert 28 Tpi 3/8 Inch Ic Un Thread

Product Description

The VARGUS 62196 is a laydown threading insert designed for external UN thread cutting operations. It features solid carbide construction with a TiN coating, providing wear resistance and extended tool life in production threading applications. The insert is rated at 28 threads per inch (TPI) with a 3/8 inch inscribed circle (IC) and a 0.14 inch thickness. Configured for right-hand external threading, it carries the 3ER insert style designation and VKX manufacturer grade. This insert is installed by machinists and CNC lathe operators working with threaded workpieces in precision manufacturing environments.

This insert is suited for external UN thread cutting on lathes and CNC turning centers in both job shop and production environments. The right-hand orientation and 28 TPI specification make it appropriate for threading applications where UN standard fastener threads are required. The solid carbide substrate with TiN finish supports interrupted cuts and moderate cutting speeds on a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate for rigidity and wear resistance in threading operations
• TiN coating extends insert life and reduces built-up edge
• 28 TPI for UN standard external thread profile
• 3/8 inch inscribed circle with 0.14 inch thickness for laydown-style toolholders
• Right-hand cut orientation for standard external threading direction
• 3ER insert style for compatibility with corresponding laydown threading toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in laydown-style threading toolholders accepting 3ER insert geometry. Intended for external UN thread cutting applications at 28 TPI.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is secured before seating or removing the insert. Use the appropriate torx or hex key at the recommended clamping torque for the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the insert seat and clamping screw for wear or debris before installation to ensure correct insert contact and positioning.
