The ones our customers buy most.Description
The Carmex Carbide Threading Insert in Unified TiAlN coating is a versatile, high-precision cutting solution designed for machinists who need reliable threading across multiple profiles without swapping inserts.
- Threading coverage: Unified threading inserts that span all common thread profiles, reducing tool changes and setup time.
- Five length options: Available in 12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, 32 mm, and 40 mm lengths to suit a wide range of machining applications.
- Double‑sided cutting edges: Two cutting edges per insert (except for BSPT/NPT/NPTF/American Buttress/API RD), maximizing life per piece.
- Internal & external threading compatibility: For many profiles, the same insert can machine both internal and external threads, simplifying tooling inventory (note exceptions like ISO/UN/NPSM/UNJ/Acme).
- TiAlN coating: TiAlN provides enhanced hardness and wear resistance, delivering longer tool life and better performance on hard or abrasive materials.
- Carbide construction: Rigid, precise inserts that maintain dimensional stability under demanding cutting conditions.
- Pitch range compatibility: Depending on length, supports pitches from 0.5 mm (32 TPI) up to 6.0 mm (4 TPI) for broad threading needs.
Designed for shops that value efficiency and consistency, this single set covers a broad spectrum of unified thread forms with solid edge life and predictable finishes. Use it in CNC lathes or milling setups to produce clean, accurate threads on steel, stainless, or nonferrous materials. By combining multiple profiles into one adaptable insert, you can streamline tooling, reduce downtime, and achieve reliable thread quality from first cut to final pass.
