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.

Some threading inserts has just one point per cutting edge, but some has two or three cutting point per cutting edge. The cutting edge points are increased to make fine threads and also help in making the proper thread profile.

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.

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.
