Hertel 1000706 Turning Insert TPU322 HC210 Carbide Tin

Product Description

The HERTEL 1000706 is a solid carbide turning insert in the TPU322 style, designed for external turning operations on CNC and manual lathes. Coated with titanium nitride (TiN) via a PVD process, this triangular insert (60-degree included angle) provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials. Key dimensions include a 3/8-inch inscribed circle, 1/8-inch insert thickness, and a 1/32-inch corner radius. The neutral hand orientation makes it suitable for both left- and right-hand tool holders. It belongs to the HERTEL KENDEX series and carries a manufacturer grade of HC210, corresponding to material grades C2 and C4.

This insert is intended for metal cutting applications involving stainless steels, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys, reflected by its primary workpiece material designations of M, N, and S, with secondary suitability for cast iron (K). Typical install scenarios include finish and semi-finish turning on CNC turning centers and manual engine lathes in production machining, job shop, and maintenance environments. A licensed machinist or CNC operator installs and indexes these inserts as part of routine tooling maintenance.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD TiN coating for extended tool life
• 60-degree triangular insert shape (style code T) with neutral hand orientation
• 1/32-inch corner radius for controlled surface finish
• Maximum depth of cut of 0.0492 inches (1.25 mm)
• Clamp-style insert holding method with clearance code P and tolerance code U
• Positive rake geometry for reduced cutting forces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement turning insert for tool holders accepting TPU322-style triangular carbide inserts within the KENDEX series platform.

Installation Notes

Turning inserts are installed and indexed by a machinist or CNC operator using the appropriate torque wrench and clamp hardware specified by the tool holder manufacturer. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or indexing inserts. Inspect the tool holder pocket and clamp for wear or debris before seating the insert. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and shop safety guidelines when setting cutting parameters.
