Sandhog 16ER/IR10UN is a high-performance tungsten carbide cutting insert specifically designed for use on CNC lathes. This indexable insert provides precise thread cutting on various materials, making it an indispensable tool for manufacturing enterprises that require reliable threading solutions.

Technical specifications

Universal application: The SMX30 material grade allows the cutting insert to process various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and cast iron, with hardness up to 55° HRC. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications without the need for tool replacement.
Precision machining: The cutting insert features precise geometry, ensuring accurate thread profiles and consistent results throughout the production process. The TiN coating enhances wear resistance, reduces cutting tool wear, and significantly extends its service life.
Partial profile: The V-shaped thread form at a 60° angle allows machining threads with various pitches, eliminating the need for special full-profile inserts and reducing tool inventory by 70%.

Advantages

Increased cutting tool life: The combination of tungsten carbide structure and TiN coating provides excellent wear resistance, allowing for longer uptime between cutting tool changes and reducing overall tooling costs.
Improved surface finish: The cutting edge geometry of the insert allows for clean, burr-free threads with excellent surface quality, minimizing the need for subsequent finishing work.
Increased productivity: 16ER/IR10UN cutting inserts provide consistent performance when machining various materials, reducing setup time and improving machining efficiency.
