Vargus 65142 Carbide Thread Mill Insert 1.5mm Iso

Product Description

The VARGUS 65142 is a carbide thread mill insert designed for external ISO threading on CNC machining centers. Manufactured from micrograin carbide and finished with a PVD-applied TiCN coating, this insert delivers wear resistance and edge retention when threading superalloys and titanium. It carries a 1.5mm pitch and conforms to R262 (DIN 13) standards, making it a direct fit for ISO external thread milling applications. The VBX manufacturer grade and micrograin substrate are selected for demanding materials classified under workpiece material code N. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working in aerospace, medical, and high-performance manufacturing will find this insert suited to their toolpath requirements.

This insert is used in external ISO thread milling operations where precise pitch control and coating durability are required. It is part of the Standard TM series and is configured for use with compatible VARGUS thread mill bodies. Typical applications include threading superalloys and titanium components where conventional tapping is not feasible. The 5/8-inch inscribed circle (15.88mm) geometry positions this insert for medium-to-large thread mill holders in production or job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Micrograin carbide substrate for high edge integrity in difficult-to-machine materials
• PVD TiCN coating improves surface hardness and reduces built-up edge in superalloys and titanium
• 1.5mm pitch conforms to ISO standard R262 (DIN 13) for external threads
• 5/8-inch (15.88mm) inscribed circle for compatibility with Standard TM series holders
• Insert Style 5E in Size Code 5 for consistent seating and repeatable thread geometry
• VBX manufacturer grade optimized for primary workpiece material code N (superalloy and titanium)

Compatibility

Designed for use with VARGUS Standard TM series thread mill bodies accepting 5E-style inserts with a 5/8-inch inscribed circle. Verify holder compatibility with the specific tool body before ordering.

Installation Notes

Thread mill inserts must be seated fully and secured to the manufacturer torque specification for the tool body before use. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before performing any insert change. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage prior to seating a new insert. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine tool manufacturer guidelines when handling carbide inserts, as edges are sharp and brittle.
