ISCAR 16ERM AG60 IC908 PVD Coated Carbide Threading Insert with 60° Partial Profile for 0.5-3.0mm Pitch CNC Lathe

The 16ERMAG60 IC908 is premium PVD-coated carbide universal external threading insert made by ISCAR for versatile CNC metric outer thread turning. It features AG60 partial 60° ISO thread profile designed for multi-pitch machining, paired with ISCAR exclusive submicron IC908 carbide grade. Optimized M-type chipbreaker geometry enables stable chip breaking, delivering outstanding toughness and anti-chipping performance for both continuous and interrupted external threading processes.

This multi-purpose insert covers a wide range of standard thread pitches to reduce spare insert inventory, perfectly suited for mass and diversified batch external threading on conventional CNC lathes and automatic turning machines with reliable thread contour precision and smooth chip evacuation.

• IC908 submicron tungsten carbide substrate with TiAlN PVD coating balances superior toughness and high abrasion resistance, compatible with elevated-temperature cutting of stainless steel and alloyed workpiece materials.
• Universal AG60 partial 60° ISO thread profile supports multiple metric and imperial thread pitches, eliminating frequent insert replacement for varied thread specifications.
• Built-in optimized M-form chipbreaker ensures stable chip curling and smooth chip removal to avoid chip scratching on finished thread surface.
• Standard 16ER external insert dimension with rational clearance angle for quick clamping and secure mounting on matched 16ER-series external threading tool holders.
• Precision ground cutting edge realizes excellent surface finish of threaded profile and minimizes burr formation after turning operation.
• Reinforced cutting edge edge resists built-up edge generation during long-hour continuous production and extends overall insert service life.

• Carbon steel
• Alloy steel
• Austenitic stainless steel
• Heat-resistant superalloy
• Pre-hardened structural steel

• Universal multi-pitch 60° ISO external thread turning
