Internal trapezoidal threading insert 22 IR 4 TR turns the full internal thread profile with a 4 mm pitch: flanks, roots, and crests. It can produce threads from Tr 65 × 4 to Tr 110 × 4 in bores starting at Ø24 mm. It works in size 22 right-hand SIR boring bars. It has three corners for successive use.

Axial cross-section of a Tr 70 × 4 thread after the final pass. Gold highlights the insert; the red line indicates the surfaces machined by the insert.

The trapezoidal profile has a 30° flank angle and flat roots and crests. The internal thread profile height H4 is 0.5 of the pitch plus the crest clearance ac = 0.25 mm, giving 2.25 mm. The insert turns the flanks, roots, and crests at the bore diameter in the same cycle.

The Tr 70 × 4 thread has a bore diameter D1 = d − P = 66 mm and a root diameter D4 = d + 2 × ac = 70.5 mm (PN-ISO 2904). Tolerance 7H is specified in the trapezoidal thread standard. Bore the hole slightly undersize beforehand. An oversized bore will leave the crests unmachined and the profile too shallow. Check the finished thread with a thread plug gauge or a screw.

Threading with the 22 IR 4 TR insert – 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.

Schematic of the passes for a Tr 70 × 4 thread. The lines show successive cutting edge positions.

Successive passes to a depth of 2.25 mm

The insert reaches a profile height of 2.25 mm in 10–20 passes; use 15 as a starting point. The first pass removes the most material; the final pass removes 0.05–0.08 mm. Use flank infeed at an angle slightly less than 15°, which is half the profile angle: 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 MTA grade

MTA 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 materialCutting speed vc [m/min]
P Unalloyed steel, cast steel, free-cutting steel120–180
P Low-alloy steel and cast steel (up to 5% alloying elements)80–130
P High-alloy and tool steel60–80
M Stainless steel and stainless cast steel90–130
K Gray cast iron120–130
K Ductile and malleable cast iron100–130

Spindle speed and feed for Tr 70 × 4

Thread pitch of 4 mm marked between the centers of adjacent profile crests
Pitch P is measured along the axis between corresponding points on adjacent thread turns.

For each spindle revolution, the insert advances by one pitch: fn = P = 4 mm/rev.

Example: Tr 70 × 4 in a bore in low-alloy steel, vc = 100 m/min
n = 1000 × vc / (π × d) = 1000 × 100 / (π × 70) ≈ 450 rpm
vf = n × P = 450 × 4
1800 mm/min
feed rate
d – thread diameter (70 mm), n – spindle speed, vc – cutting speed from the middle of the range in the table, vf – feed rate.

Calculate the helix angle β using tan β = P / (π × d), where P is the pitch and d is the thread diameter. For Tr 70 × 4: 4 / (π × 70) = 0.018, giving β ≈ 1.04°. Standard threading holder shims tilt the insert by 1–1.5°, so they do not need to be replaced for this thread.

Internal trapezoidal threads with a 4 mm pitch – from Tr 65 × 4 to Tr 110 × 4

One insert, many diameters with the same pitch

The pitch and tooth profile are independent of diameter. The profile height of a thread with a 4 mm pitch is always 2.25 mm, for both Tr 65 × 4 and Tr 110 × 4. The bore in the workpiece determines the thread diameter, not the insert.

The 22 IR 4 TR insert can cut trapezoidal threads listed in the PN-ISO 2902 table with a 4 mm pitch and bores from Ø24 mm. Threads from Tr 16 × 4 to Tr 20 × 4 have bores smaller than Ø24 mm and require a smaller insert.

22 IR 4 TR insert dimensions

Size 22 indicates 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 = 1.8 mm and Y = 1.9 mm specify the cutting tip position relative to the sides of the insert. The corner reproduces the trapezoidal profile: a 30° angle, a flat root, and crest clearance ac = 0.25 mm.

Only for a pitch of 4 mm and internal threads

The insert profile matches a single pitch. At a different feed, the insert flanks will not align with the thread flanks, resulting in a distorted thread. A boring bar for size 22 inserts fits bores starting at Ø24 mm, which determines the smallest thread size. Threads from Tr 16 × 4 to Tr 20 × 4 require a smaller bore.

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 TR internal trapezoidal threading insert finishes an internal trapezoidal thread with a 4 mm pitch, including the crests. A single insert can produce more than 10 sizes, from Tr 65 × 4 to Tr 110 × 4, always with the same profile height of 2.25 mm. It is suitable for lead screws and nuts with this pitch.

22 IR 4 TR – selection and application questions

Key information before selecting an insert

You can produce internal trapezoidal threads with a 4 mm pitch from the PN-ISO 2902 table: from Tr 65 × 4 to Tr 110 × 4.

Yes. The full profile trims the thread crests at the bore diameter, e.g., 66 mm for Tr 70 × 4. Simply bore the hole slightly undersize beforehand.

The profile height is 0.5 of the pitch plus the crest clearance ac: 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 mm (PN-ISO 2904). 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.
