High-Performance Threading for Imperial Applications
The 16ER-T-AG55 is a specialized indexable insert designed for professional external thread turning. Featuring a 55-degree flank angle, it is tailored for imperial thread types, particularly Whitworth and BSP pipe threads. The well-thought-out partial profile design allows a single insert to cut multiple pitches, reducing setup times and providing high economic flexibility. Combined with a stable cutting edge, the universal carbide grade RT315 supports reliable and precise machining processes.

Applications
This tool holder insert is engineered for accurate thread turning of imperial Whitworth and BSP profiles on external cylindrical workpieces. The partial profile geometry gives users significant adaptability, as various thread pitches can be generated without needing to change tools. As a result, the insert is an excellent fit for versatile job shop operations as well as larger series production requiring imperial external threads.
Special features
The coated universal grade RT315 ensures strong wear resistance when turning alloyed and unalloyed steels, alongside stainless steel materials. Its durable PVD coating promotes smooth chip evacuation and minimizes built-up edge, resulting in consistently clean thread flanks. Featuring the standard size 16 geometry, the threading insert integrates seamlessly into standard external threading tool holders, maintaining uninterrupted and efficient workshop workflows.
