Price shown is a starting point. Contact us for a precise quote based on your requirements.
The Original Korloy ERM16-AG60 PC9030 is the most versatile Partial Profile 60° External Threading Insert in the industry. The "AG" designation signifies its wide processing range, allowing a single insert to produce multiple thread pitches from 0.5mm to 3.0mm (48 - 8 TPI). This universal geometry is compatible with both Metric ISO and American UN/UNF 60-degree thread standards. Engineered with the premium PC9030 PVD grade, it provides exceptional toughness and resistance to heat and oxidation, making it the go-to choice for Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and Alloy Steel.
The Job Shop's Favorite: Why stock dozens of different full-profile inserts when one AG60 can handle almost any 60-degree external thread? It is the perfect cost-saving solution for small-batch production and general repair work, delivering Korloy's signature precision across a vast range of sizes.

Choosing Your 60° Insert: Partial vs. Full Profile
When should you use the ERM16-AG60 instead of a dedicated ISO insert?
Best for Versatility. It can cut any 60° pitch within its range. Important: It does not cut the thread's crest, so you must pre-turn your workpiece to the exact final outer diameter.
Best for High-Volume & Automation. These dedicated inserts cut the crest, finishing the O.D. and deburring the thread in one go, but are limited to a single pitch.
Machinist's Pro Tip: For the best thread quality with AG60, ensure your workpiece O.D. is slightly undersized (usually by 0.05-0.1mm) before threading. This prevents a sharp burr from forming at the top of the 60-degree profile.
Packaging: 10 pieces per box.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
