22 IR 4 ISO internal metric threading insert turns the full internal thread profile with a pitch of 4 mm: flanks, root and crests. It can cut coarse threads M36 and M39 as well as metric fine threads from M42 × 4 to M80 × 4 in holes from Ø24 mm. It works in size 22 right-hand SIR boring bars. It has three corners for successive use.
Full ISO profile – flanks, root and thread hole diameter

22 IR 4 ISO – full profile
Partial profile, e.g., 22 IR N60
A full-profile threading insert has short cutting edges on both sides of the tooth. During the final passes, they trim the thread crests to the hole diameter, which is the thread minor diameter D1. The insert therefore turns both the groove and the hole diameter itself, with a crest flat equal to 1/4 of the pitch, or approx. 1.00 mm.
For an M36 thread in the 6H tolerance zone, the hole diameter is 31.670–32.270 mm and the pitch diameter is 33.402–33.702 mm. Bore the hole slightly undersize beforehand. An oversized hole will leave the crests unmachined and produce a profile that is too shallow. Check the finished thread with a thread plug gauge or screw.
22 IR 4 ISO full profile
The insert turns the flanks, root and crests of a thread with a 4 mm pitch. The crest is formed in the same cycle as the flanks, ensuring a repeatable profile in production runs.
Partial profile, e.g., 22 IR N60
The insert machines the flanks and root of the groove over a pitch range of 3.5–5.0 mm. It does not touch the crests: they retain the previously turned diameter.
How the 22 IR 4 ISO insert cuts threads – passes, feed and cutting data
Feed of 4 mm per revolution and 10–20 progressively shallower passes
One spindle revolution – 4 mm of feed
The workpiece rotates while the boring bar with the insert moves along the hole axis by 4 mm per spindle revolution. In a typical setup, the right-hand insert feeds toward the chuck and turns a right-hand thread. During the final passes, its side cutting edges trim the crests to the hole diameter.
Successive passes to an infeed depth of 2.31 mm
The insert reaches the total infeed depth of 2.31 mm in 10–20 passes; start with 15. The first pass removes the most material, and the final pass removes 0.05–0.08 mm. Use flank infeed at an angle of 29–30° to the radial direction: the insert then cuts mainly on one flank.
In a blind hole, make a relief groove at the end of the thread at least 4.2 mm wide and no shallower than the infeed depth.
Cutting speed for HTA grade
HTA grade is a submicron carbide with a PVD TiAlN coating for steel, stainless steel and cast iron. The speeds in the table apply to thread turning.
| Workpiece material | Cutting speed vc [m/min] |
|---|---|
| P Unalloyed steel, cast steel, free-cutting steel | 120–180 |
| P Low-alloy steel and cast steel (up to 5% alloying elements) | 80–130 |
| P High-alloy and tool steel | 60–80 |
| M Stainless steel and stainless cast steel | 90–130 |
| K Gray cast iron | 120–130 |
| K Ductile and malleable cast iron | 100–130 |
Spindle speed and feed for M36
For each spindle revolution, the insert advances by one pitch: fn = P = 4 mm/rev.
Calculate the helix angle β using the formula tan β = P / (π × d), where P is the pitch and d is the thread diameter. For M36: 4 / (π × 36) = 0.035, giving β ≈ 2.03°. Standard threading holder shims tilt the insert by 1–1.5°. This thread has a larger angle, so select a shim with a tilt closer to 2° using the holder manufacturer's table.
Internal threads with a pitch of 4 mm – from M36 to M300 × 4
One insert, many diameters with the same pitch
The pitch and tooth profile do not depend on diameter. The infeed depth for an internal thread with a pitch of 4 mm is always 2.31 mm, for both M42 × 4 and M80 × 4. The hole in the workpiece, rather than the insert, determines the thread diameter.
The 22 IR 4 ISO insert can cut M36 and M39 coarse threads and every fine thread with a 4 mm pitch listed in the PN-ISO 261 table in holes from Ø24 mm.

Decoding the 22 IR 4 ISO designation – element by element
Size, operating hand, pitch, profile and grade in the insert designation, holder selection
22 IR 4 ISO insert dimensions
Size 22 denotes an edge length of 22 mm and an inscribed circle IC of 12.7 mm, or 1/2 inch; it is not the thread diameter. Dimensions X = 1.6 mm and Y = 2.3 mm specify the position of the cutting tip relative to the sides of the insert. The corner reproduces the ISO internal thread profile: a 60° angle, a root width of 1/8 of the pitch and a crest width of 1/4 of the pitch in the nominal profile.

Carbide grade
The insert profile fits only one pitch. At a different feed, the insert flanks will not align with the thread flanks, producing a distorted thread. A boring bar for size 22 inserts fits holes from Ø24 mm – this determines the smallest thread.
Mount the threading insert in right-hand SIR boring bars for size 22 inserts, e.g., SIR 0020 P22, SIR 0025 R22 or SIR 0032 S22. A right-hand internal threading insert works only in a right-hand boring bar.
The 22 IR 4 ISO internal metric threading insert finishes an internal thread with a 4 mm pitch, including the crests, without a separate finish-boring operation. A single insert cuts more than 10 sizes listed in the standard's table, from M36 to M80 × 4, always with the same infeed depth of 2.31 mm. It is suitable for production runs that require a repeatable profile.
22 IR 4 ISO – questions about selection and use
Key information before selecting an insert
You can cut all internal metric threads with a 4 mm pitch in holes from Ø24 mm: M36 and M39 coarse threads and fine threads listed in the PN-ISO 261 table from M42 × 4 to M80 × 4.
Yes. The full profile trims the thread crests to the hole diameter, e.g. to 31.670–32.270 mm for M36 in the 6H tolerance zone. Simply bore the hole slightly undersize beforehand.
The total insert infeed depth for an internal thread is approx. 0.58 × P, or approx. 2.31 mm for a pitch of 4 mm. It is the same for every diameter with this pitch.
For right-hand SIR boring bars for size 22 inserts, e.g., SIR 0020 P22 (holes from Ø24 mm), SIR 0025 R22 (from Ø29 mm) or SIR 0032 S22 (from Ø38 mm).
Usually 10 to 20 passes; start with 15. For harder materials, add passes instead of increasing the cutting speed.
