ISO Metric Full Profile Threading Inserts are precision carbide threading inserts designed for machining standard 60° ISO metric threads. The full-profile geometry forms the complete thread profile, including the thread crest and root, helping produce accurate and consistent metric threads in CNC turning applications.
These 60° ISO metric threading inserts are available for external and internal threading applications, including common ER and IR configurations. Compared with partial-profile inserts, full-profile inserts are designed for a specific thread pitch and provide better control of the finished thread profile.
Manufactured from high-quality tungsten carbide grades with optional PVD coatings, the inserts offer excellent wear resistance, edge stability and dimensional consistency for continuous CNC thread machining.
ISO Metric Full Profile Threading Inserts are widely used for machining:
| Insert Type | Main Feature | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Full Profile | Forms the complete thread profile | High-quality, accurate threads |
| Partial Profile | Does not completely form the thread crest | Flexible machining of multiple pitches |
For applications requiring a consistent thread crest and controlled thread profile, full-profile metric threading inserts are generally the better choice.
Common configurations include:
16ER ISO | 16IR ISO | 22ER ISO | 22IR ISO
Metric pitches can be supplied according to the required thread specification, including coarse and fine pitches.
For example:
16ER 1.0 ISO | 16ER 1.5 ISO | 16ER 2.0 ISO | 16ER 2.5 ISO | 16ER 3.0 ISO
Custom sizes, grades, coatings and geometries are available for OEM and special machining requirements.
Different carbide grades can be selected according to workpiece material and cutting conditions. PVD coatings can also be applied to improve wear resistance, cutting stability and tool life.
Our technical team can recommend a suitable carbide grade, coating and insert geometry based on your workpiece material, thread pitch, cutting speed and machining conditions.
We supply ISO metric carbide threading inserts for CNC turning and threading applications. Standard and customized solutions are available for tooling distributors, machining companies and OEM customers.
