The ones our customers buy most.Description
Carmex Internal Thread Turning Holder with a 3.5° helix angle is a precision tool designed for machinists who need dependable internal threading on cylindrical parts. Built for right-hand internal threads, it delivers clean, repeatable results in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications.
- 3.5° helix angle: Optimizes chip flow and reduces cutting forces during internal threading to improve surface finish and tool life.
- Internal thread turning holder: Specifically engineered for internal threading with a secure insert seat and reliable alignment.
- Right-hand configuration: Designed for RH threading operations, ensuring correct cutting direction and thread form.
- 170 mm overall length (OAL): Extended reach provides access to deeper holes while maintaining rigidity and stability.
- 16IR insert interface: Uses Carmex 16IR inserts for standard internal thread profiles and consistent chip control.
- 20 mm shank size: Compatible with common toolholders and interface pockets for efficient setup and changes.
The combination of a controlled helix angle and a sturdy, long-reaching holder delivers precise, reproducible internal threads with better surface quality and reduced chatter. The 16IR insert option covers a wide range of common thread pitches, while the 20 mm shank and RH orientation align with typical production workflows, helping you shorten cycle times and improve part-to-part consistency. Ideal applications include threading in engine blocks, hydraulic housings, gear housings, and other deep-bore or pocketed components where tight tolerances matter.
