14 best threading inserts
Threading inserts are essential components in metalworking and machining processes. They are a type of indexable insert, which means they can be rotated or flipped to use different edges, extending the tool's life before replacement is necessary.These inserts are commonly used in lathes and other machining tools for creating threads on various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.
Here are some key points about threading inserts:
Types of Threading Inserts:
Single-Point Threading Inserts: These inserts have only one cutting edge and are used for turning operations to create threads.
Multi-Point Threading Inserts: These inserts have multiple cutting edges, allowing for higher efficiency and faster threading operations.
Materials:
Threading inserts are made from various materials, each suited for specific applications:
Carbide Inserts: These are popular due to their hardness and resistance to wear, making them suitable for high-speed machining and cutting hard materials.
High-Speed Steel (HSS) Inserts: HSS inserts are known for their toughness and ability to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for a wide range of materials.
Ceramic Inserts: These inserts offer excellent heat and wear resistance, making them ideal for high-speed machining of heat-resistant alloys and hardened steels.
Coatings:
Many threading inserts are coated to enhance their performance:
TiN (Titanium Nitride) Coating: Improves wear resistance and extends tool life.
TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) Coating: Provides better resistance to abrasion and increases tool life.
TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) Coating: Offers high-temperature resistance and excellent wear properties, suitable for high-speed machining.
Advantages of Threading Inserts:
Cost-Effective: Since only the insert needs replacement, it is a cost-effective solution compared to replacing entire tools.
Versatility: Different inserts can be used on the same holder, allowing for a variety of threading options without changing the entire tool.
Precision: Threading inserts, when properly maintained, provide high precision and consistent thread profiles.
Productivity: Indexable inserts, including threading inserts, enhance machining efficiency and reduce downtime for tool changes.
In industrial settings, choosing the right threading insert based on the material being machined, cutting speed, and desired thread specifications is crucial for achieving optimal results in metalworking processes.

User questions & answers
Question: | Title says 1/2”. The picture with dimensions says 12mm. Which is it |
Answer: | The threading pitch is dictated by how the thread gears are arranged on your lathe. The cutters will cut a 60 degree thread at whatever travel speed and depth you decide to go to within a range based on how many passes you take and feed speed. There should be a setup chart on your lathe for the feeds and speeds. Hope this helps. |
Question: | What standard sae & nf pitch will these do |
Answer: | The screw of the holders is M3.5*10mm |
Question: | What size is the replacement machine screw that holds the bit |
Answer: | 16ER = External threads 16IR = Internal threads |
- 10pcs VP15TF 16ER AG60 CNC external threaded inserts packed in a box.
- AG60 (0.5-3.0) common metric thread.

User questions & answers
Question: | What type of insert could I use for general turning |
Answer: | Yes, it will cut 1/2-20 (60 degree pitch) |
Question: | It says common metric threads will it also cut standard unf threads |
Answer: | It's roughly half inch shank, or .500 thou, or13mm. |
Question: | What size shank does this tool have |
Answer: | According to Shars, an AG60 insert will cut a thread range of 8 - 48 threads per inch (TPI). |
Question: | What thread range in TPI will this cut |
Answer: | 1/2" is the closest inch equivalent to 12mm. The ones I had purchased measure just under 12mm and will work in both a 12mm or 1/2" holder. |
