Threading insert FANAR 16 ER 1.5 ISO BMA for turning, pitch 1.5 mm, size 16

FANAR threading insert 16 ER 1.5 ISO BMA is a replaceable cutting insert engineered for turning operations that produce ISO metric threads with a 1.5 mm pitch. Designed to the 16 ER 1.5 ISO BMA geometry, this insert is intended for use in lathes for both external and internal thread turning when the specified pitch and profile are required. The insert size and form factor make it compatible with tool holders that accept the 16 ER style.

Advantages

The insert provides consistent thread profile accuracy and repeatability across multiple parts due to its standardized geometry. Being replaceable reduces downtime compared with regrinding solid tooling, and the insert construction supports stable cutting performance during continuous turning operations. Its compatibility with common 16 ER tool holders simplifies tool setup and replacement.

Suitable for

• Turning ISO metric threads with 1.5 mm pitch on external shafts
• Internal thread turning in bored or pre-drilled holes
• Production and repair work requiring repeatable thread profiles
• Lathe setups using 16 ER compatible tool holders

Key specifications

• Thread form: ISO metric
• Pitch: 1.5 mm
• Insert size: 16 (16 ER style)
• Application: turning, external and internal threading
• Replaceable single-use cutting insert design

How to use

Mount the insert in a compatible 16 ER tool holder, ensuring correct orientation for the required external or internal thread operation. Set the lathe to the correct spindle speed and feed for the material and the 1.5 mm pitch; use steady clamping and appropriate coolant or lubrication as required by the workpiece material. Make initial light passes to verify thread profile and alignment, then proceed with finishing passes to achieve the final thread depth and surface quality.

Usage recommendations

Use recommended cutting parameters for the specific workpiece material, maintain proper toolholder rigidity, and inspect the insert for wear between parts. Replace the insert when thread form or surface finish degrades to ensure consistent thread quality.
