internal 5/8-11 tool and insert?

For grins and giggles I tried to insert a 16IRAG60 insert into a 5/8" - 11 nut and it would not fit. You may have to break off the far corner of an insert to get the insert to fit in the hole. Could be an error on my part, but worth checking out for yourself. I had no problems turning a 16 mm boring bar down to under 1/2", but with the insert in place couldn't fit it in the nut. I'll try to post some photos tonight.

On a close fit some tools won't go in unless you're actually cutting the thread to get that last bit of clearance.
