Threading insert FANAR 16 IR 14 W BMA – carbide lathe insert for internal threading

FANAR 16 IR 14 W BMA is a carbide threading insert engineered for internal threading on lathes. Designed for holders that accept 16 mm-type inserts, this insert provides wear resistance and dimensional stability required for precision metalworking and serial production. Its geometry is optimized for producing consistent internal thread profiles and maintaining tool life across repetitive cutting cycles.

Advantages

The carbide construction ensures high wear resistance and thermal stability during internal threading operations. The insert geometry delivers repeatable thread form accuracy and reliable seating in compatible 16 mm holders, reducing setup time and part-to-part variation. Its suitability for serial production contributes to predictable maintenance intervals and lower tooling costs over extended runs.

Suitable for

• Internal threading on lathes using 16 mm-type holders
• Precision metalworking and engineering components
• Serial and batch production where consistent thread quality is required
• Applications requiring carbide tool life and dimensional stability

Key specifications

• Application type: internal threading insert for lathe use
• Material: carbide for wear resistance and thermal stability
• Insert size/compatibility: for 16 mm-type insert holders
• Geometry: optimized for consistent internal thread profile formation
• Typical use: precision machining and serial production

How to use

Install the FANAR 16 IR 14 W BMA into a compatible internal threading holder designed for 16 mm inserts, ensuring proper seating and secure clamping. Verify tool alignment and thread pitch/diameter settings on the lathe before cutting. Begin with recommended spindle speed and feed suitable for the workpiece material, monitoring chip formation and surface finish. Inspect the first threads for dimensional conformity and adjust cutting parameters if necessary to achieve the required thread tolerance.

Usage recommendations

Prefer carbide-appropriate cutting parameters for the workpiece material and maintain coolant or lubrication as recommended for internal threading to extend insert life. Regularly check insert seating and edge condition; replace the insert at the first sign of wear affecting thread form to prevent compromised thread quality.
