Carmex Carbide Threading Insert – Unified, TiAlN coated, model 30E16UN is a versatile, double-edged solution built for reliable threading on CNC lathes and milling machines. Designed for shops that value flexibility, it covers a wide range of common thread profiles with a single insert family.

• Coating: TiAlN-coated carbide for enhanced wear resistance and heat stability at higher cutting speeds.
• Thread profiles: Comprehensive coverage of all common thread profiles with a single insert family, simplifying setup and inventory.
• Lengths: Five lengths available, ranging from 12 mm to 40 mm to match different part geometries and depth requirements.
• Pitch range: Supports pitches from 0.5 mm (32 TPI) up to 6.0 mm (4 TPI), with capability depending on length.
• Edge configuration: Double-sided design with two cutting edges for most profiles (note: BSPT, NPT, NPTF, American Buttress, and API RD are exceptions).
• Internal/External capability: For many thread forms, the same insert can machine both internal and external threads, reducing setup time (exceptions include ISO, UN, NPSM, UNJ, and Acme).
• Unified designation: Specifically tuned for Unified threading standards with the 30E16UN designation, ensuring compatibility with common engineering specifications.

This insert delivers practical value by combining multiple cutting edges, broad profile compatibility, and wear-resistant TiAlN coating in a single, compact tool. Its flexibility is ideal for production environments where different thread forms are required without swapping inserts, helping to streamline workflows, reduce downtime, and maintain consistent thread quality across a variety of applications—from fasteners to fittings and housings.
