When machining threads it must be insured that we are using the proper threading insert, you can’t use a threading insert which is made for internal threading for external thread machining. The field number 3 for the threading insert nomenclature tells this whether the threading insert is made for internal threading or for external threading.

Fanuc G76 Thread Cycle for Dummies explains Fanuc G76 threading cycle briefly. Fanuc G76 gives cnc machinist full control over thread turning. Fanuc G76 threading cycle has multiple parameters but the same…

Carbide inserts are designed in many different shapes/sizes to work their best in a variety of materials while machining, based on their insert strength. The basic shapes listed from strongest to…

Thread profile will be clear to everyone, there are multiple thread types and every thread type has its own angle and shape, and a threading insert which is made for 60° threads can’t make 55° threads. So it is must to use the proper profile threading insert. Threading insert nomenclature field number 5 tells this.

G32 is used for thread cutting, but with G32 we can just make a single threading cut. This all mean that you yourself have to do all the work of…

The number 1 field for threading insert nomenclature tells whether the threading insert has a right hand style or a left hand style. This doesn’t mean that the right hand style threading insert can only be used for right hand thread cutting, we can machine left hand threads with right hand style threading insert, just direction of feed is to change. I will write about this in a future post.

Sometimes we have to make threads in very small bores so a bigger threading insert can’t be used there, so we will choose a threading insert which is smaller in size. The field number 4 tells about the size of the threading insert, the threading inserts sizes are 11, 16, 22 and 27.

Today I am going to explain the threading insert nomenclature which are used for threading on cnc machines. Of course there are plenty of different types of threading inserts and the same way there are multiple threading insert nomenclatures. Here I am going to explain just one of the threading insert nomenclature. Although it looks a bit complex, but it is not that difficult to remember. Inserts nomenclature also helps when you are going to choose a new tool.
