Threading Insert FANAR 16 ER 3.0 TR BMA — external thread turning insert 16ER3.0TRBMA

FANAR 16 ER 3.0 TR BMA is an external thread turning insert engineered for machining standard metric threads with a 3.0 mm pitch. Designed for use in holders for 16ER geometry, this insert provides consistent thread form generation for lathe operations. It is intended for both production and repair workflows where repeatable, accurate external threads on shafts and cylindrical components are required.

Advantages

The insert delivers reliable dimensional stability and repeatable thread profiles through precise geometry suited to metric threading. Its design supports stable cutting conditions and consistent engagement with the workpiece, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. Compatibility with standard 16ER tool holders facilitates quick replacement and predictable tool setup, helping maintain process continuity in serial and single-part machining.

Suitable for

• Turning external metric threads with 3.0 mm pitch
• Lathe operations on shafts and cylindrical components
• Production runs and repair/maintenance of threaded parts
• Applications requiring consistent thread profile and dimensional repeatability

Key specifications

• Thread type: external metric thread
• Thread pitch: 3.0 mm
• Insert geometry: designed for 16ER-style holders
• Application: precision lathe turning for external threads
• Mounting: intended for toolholders compatible with 16ER inserts

How to use

Install the insert into a toolholder specified for 16ER geometry and secure it according to the holder manufacturer’s instructions. Set the lathe to appropriate spindle speed and feed corresponding to the workpiece material and the 3.0 mm thread pitch. Use incremental approach passes to achieve the target thread depth and verify thread profile with suitable metrology after finishing. Observe standard safety precautions and machine setup checks before cutting.

Usage recommendations

Choose cutting parameters (speed, feed, depth of cut) based on the workpiece material and rigidity of the setup; use coolant or lubrication as appropriate for the material to improve surface finish and tool life. Regularly inspect the insert for wear or damage and replace when thread profile accuracy degrades. For consistent results, pair the insert with matching holders and follow machine tool manufacturer guidance.
